HONG KONG/MALAYSIA AIR SERVICES AGREEMENT

I am writing with reference to the United Kingdom/Malaysia Agreed Record of 11 August 1989, which was signed by your

predecessor, Mr Samsudin Osman, and me. The final two paragraphs

of this document envisage negotiations taking place between the

Hong Kong and Malaysian authorities with a view to their reaching

agreement on the outstanding matters in the draft Hong

Kong/Malaysia Confidential Memorandum of Understanding attached

to the Agreed Record. I understand that these negotiations have

been successfully completed and

completed and that the Hong Kong/Malaysia

Confidential Memorandum of Understanding was signed on 19

September 1990. It now therefore falls to the United Kingdom and

Malaysian authorities in turn to sign our Confidential Memorandum

of Understanding.

The draft which was originally agreed provided, inter alia, for the application with immediate effect of the relevant provisions of the Hong Kong/Malaysia Confidential Memorandum of

Understanding on a provisional basis until the Hong Kong/Malaysia Air Services Agreement should enter into force. However, in view of our expectation that the Hong Kong/Malaysia Air Services

Agreement will shortly be signed and as the airlines of both

sides have no plans to exercise such additional rights in the immediate future, we have now omitted this provision as being

redundant.
