INTERNATIONAL DEMOCRATIC UNION: VISIT TO HONG KONG
OUR LONDON OFFICE HAS ALERTED US TO THE PROBABLE VISIT BY THE
FOREIGN AFFAIRS COMMITTEE OF THE INTERNATIONAL DEMOCRATIC UNION TO
HONG KONG OCTOBER.
2. SIR JAMES SPICER, MP, VICE CHAIRMAN OF THE IDU'S INTERNATIONAL OFFICE HAS APPROACHED THE LONDON OFFICE SEEKING THEIR ASSISTANCE IN
ARRANGING A TWO-DAY VISIT PROGRAMME FOR DELEGATES. HE HAS ALSO SAID THAT THE COMMITTEE WILL DELIBERATE ON HONG KONG DURING ITS VISIT, ACCORDING TO SIR JAMES SPICER, THE VISIT HAS QUOTE MINISTERIAL SUPPORT UNQUOTE.
WE HAVE NO DIFFICULTY IN ARRANGING AN APPROPRIATE TWO-DAY PROGRAMME. HOWEVER, WE SEE SOME DANGER THAT IF THE IDU FOCUSES PURELY ON HONG KONG THE INTERNATIONALISATION DEBATE MAY BE GIVEN NEW LIFE. GRATEFUL FOR ANY LIGHT YOU CAN THROW ON THE VISIT AND IN PARTICULAR THE LEVEL OF SUPPORT IT HAS.
