Sir,
I have the honour to refer to the provisions of the International Telecommunication Convention dealing with special arrangements (as currently contained in Article 31 of the text of the Convention established in Nairobi in 1982, or as may be contained in any Subsequent text of the Convention which may be applied to Hong Kong), and to the proposal of the Hong Kong Government to enter into negotiations with the telecommunications administration of other territories with a view to concluding, in accordance with those provisions, special arrangements which do not concern Members in general, in particular in the field of International Value Added Network Services. The United Kingdom Government hereby formally entrusts you with authority to conduct external relations on behalf of Hong Kong as follows, namely to negotiate, conclude and implement special arrangements on behalf of Hong Kong, for the establishment, operation and use of special telecommunications networks, systems and services, in accordance with those provisions, with states and telecommunications administrations.
I am, Six
Yours faithfully
Doyler/fund
(DOUGLAS HURD)
