PEKING TELNO 1399 AND YOUR TELNO 3014: POSSIBLE VISIT TO HONG

KONG BY TIAN ZENGPEI

We agree that we should respond positively to this approach

as part of your strategy to get more senior Chinese leaders to

visit Hong Kong.

Grateful if Peking would propose to the MFA the two sets of

dates in paragraph 2 of your TUR. We agree that we should also 20 press for Tian to bring some good news during his visit although 21 Like Sir D Wilson we are not too sanguine about the prospects.

But we should make it clear to the Chinese that, in parallel

with increasing senior visits we must show that we can produce

results from our practical cooperation over Hong Kong.
