GUISTI
WE HAVE DISCUSSED THIS VERY BRIEFLY WITH THE INSPECTORS WHO ARE CLEARLY NOT THINKING IN TERMS OF AN FCO SOUTH CHINA POST IN CANTON. WHILE WE CONTINUE TO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS THE WAY FORWARD, WE SEE NO NEED TO HOLD UP THE BRITISH COUNCIL'S WISH TO TEST THE WATERS ON MOVING THEIR SOUTH CHINA OPERATION TO CANTON. WE WILL THEREFORE APPROACH THE MFA ON A LOW-KEY AND INFORMAL BASIS TO TEST THEIR REACTION.
