TRANSCRIPT A FORBIGH SEC PC HONG KONG 16 JAX 90
FORBIGE SECRETARY (COT):
Hong Kong and the Delta together form a region with
prospects unique in the world. Bong Kong is preparing itself for
that, it is building now, planning now for a mutually profitable
economic relationship with the Delta which will dwarf anything wa
have so far seen.
So that is what is being aimed at here now. We are not
simply, the Government of Hong Kong, the people of Hong Kong are
not simply trying to keep Hong Kong ticking over, working as it is
today, beyond 1977. They want to continue its dramatic progress as
a result of confidence in its future and continued cooperation,
growing cooperation with China and particularly with the South and
the Guandung Province.
That is what I want to say by way of introduction because it
seems to me a missing factor, a factor which is sometimes missing
in the comments and analyses which I bave read. But it is only I
think against that background of a future that one can get into
context and deal successfully with the problems of the present.
No comments yet.
