LORD CAITHNESS' TRAVEL

1.

It might be helpful if I summarise the conclusions you reached this morning with Lord Caithness concerning future travel plans.

2.

3.

Planning is already well in hand for two confirmed trips:

Hong Kong (14-21 September).

Noumea for the South Pacific Conference plus Fiji and Tonga (19 October-2 November).

Lord Caithness is keen to visit Japan and Korea in December. I think Mr Davies already has action in hand on this.

4. Priorities for 1991 are as follows:

Australia and New Zealand, ideally

-

but not necessarily - linked to the proposed Heads of Mission Conference in Canberra;

ASEAN, in particular Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore. We might look at the option of a trip to these three in January 1991;

/- China
