Thank you for your letter to Douglas Hurd of 22 January.
It was good of you to let us have a report on your call
on Brigadier General Lee Hsien Loong. As you know, BG Lee
is a key figure in the "second generation" team which is
now in charge of the day to day running of government in
Singapore. We are keen to establish the closest possible
contact with him and have for some time been trying to
persuade him to pay an official visit to the UK.
Following your call, we now have a tentative date and we
shall certainly follow this up in Singapore. Thank you
for moving things forward.

As regards the other points in your letter, the Glaxo
investment is certainly a fine example of a far-sighted
British company investing for the future in the Asia
Pacific regaion in the way that many Japanese companies
are now doing. But we need many more of them and I
therefore hope that BG Lee's hints that several more
British chemical companies may establish themselves here
No comments yet.
