SUITABLE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THE SAME POINTS TO YOUR INTERLOCUTORS, DRAWING AS APPROPRIATE ON THE BACKGROUND IN PARAS 1-3 ABOVE. THE KEY POINT TO GET ACROSS IS THAT WE HAVE NO DESIRE TO MAKE A MAJOR PUBLIC ISSUE OUT OF THE NATIONALITY BILL DURING THE VISIT. THAT WOULD SERVE THE INTERESTS OF NEITHER SIDE. WE HOPE THAT ANY DIFFERENCES BETWEEN US ABOUT THE NATIONALITY ISSUE CAN BE DISCUSSED QUIETLY IN PRIVATE.
