TOL COT Q DIST?
YRTELNO 1573: GERMAN CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS IN HONG KONG: CULTURAL
AGREEMENT
1. AS THERE IS NO LEGAL IMPEDIMENT TO CONTINUED OPERATION OF THE GERMAN-SWISS SCHOOL AND THE GOETHE INSTITUTE AFTER 1997, AND SINCE THE CONCLUSION OF A CULTURAL AGREEMENT WOULD NOT APPEAR TO CONFER ANY TANGIBLE BENEFIT TO HONG KONG, WE SEE NO PRESSING NEED TO CONCLUDE ONE.
2. HOWEVER, BEFORE A FORMAL REPLY IS GIVEN IT WOULD BE HELPFUL TO FOUND OUT WHAT THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT HOPES TO ACHIEVE BY SUCH AN AGREEMENT, AND IT MIGHT ALSO SHED SOME LIGHT ON THE REQUEST IF YOU WERE ABLE TO ASCERTAIN WHETHER THE GERMAN GOVERNMENT HAS A
SIMILAR CULTURAL AGREEMENT WITH THE PRC.
