GREEK CONSUL REPRESENTATION IN HONG KONG.

1. I DEPLOYED THE LINE IN PARA 3 OF YOUR TELELETTER OF 11 JANUARY WITH THE GREEK COUNSELLOR ON 16 JANUARY. HE TOOK THE POINTS READILY ENOUGH AND I DO NOT THINK THE GREEKS WILL PRESENT US FORMALLY WITH A REQUEST FOR ACCREDITATION IN HONG KONG FROM EITHER TOKYO OR PEKING.

2. IN DUE COURSE THEY MAY ASK FOR OUR ASSISTANCE IN ARRANGING AN EXPLORATORY VISIT TO DISCUSS THE MODALITIES OF UPGRADING THEIR HONORARY REPRESENTATION TO ESTABLISHING A CAREER POST.

3. I AM COPYING THIS TELELETTER TO S E BRADLEY ESQ, DPA HONG KONG.
