YOUR TELNO 116: MY TRAVEL PLANS FOR 1990

1. THANK YOU FOR THESE INDICATIONS OF MINISTERIAL MOVEMENTS IN MARCH AND JULY. TAKING ACCOUNT OF YOUR TUR I HAVE NOW REVISED MY PROVISIONAL VISIT PLANS FOR A VISIT TO LONDON. I NOW PLAN VISIT TO LONDON AS FOLLOWS:-

(A) ARRIVE 8 MARCH (EARLY AM) AND LEAVE 11 MARCH. (TIMING COULD

HOWEVER BE AFFECTED BY THE BASIC LAW DRAFTING PROCESS. I WILL NOT ANNOUNCE A VISIT UNTIL MUCH NEARER THE TIME):

(B) ARRIVE LONDON 28 JUNE. I WOULD THEN GO UP TO EDINBURGH EITHER

EVENING 2 JULY OR MORNING 3 JULY FOR A SPEAKING ENGAGEMENT. AFTER

GOING TO ABERDEEN TO TAKE AN HONORARY DEGREE AND PROBABLY SPEAK I WOULD RETURN TO HONG KONG ON 6 JULY.

(C) I AM PROVISIONALLY PLANNING A VISIT TO LONDON DURING MY AUGUST LEAVE AND WOULD AIM TO CALL IN ON THE OFFICE IN THE WEEK BEGINNING 27 AUGUST:

(D) I HAVE PROVISIONAL PLANS TO VISIT WESTERN EUROPE IN LATE OCTOBER AND WOULD PROBABLY WISH TO INCLUDE IN THESE A BRIEF STOP- OVER IN LONDON.

2. THESE PLANS (PARTICULARLY (C) AND (D) ARE STILL VERY PROVISIONAL. I WILL CONFIRM NEARER THE TIME.

3. IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE I PLAN TO VISIT JAPAN WITH A TDC DELEGATION IN NOVEMBER (WE ARE EXPLORING THIS SEPARATELY WITH TDC HERE). I SHOULD ALSO THINK OF A VISIT TO PEKING AT THE END OF THIS
