FROM ERD

1.

RECENT CORRESPONDENCE FROM CANBERRA (NOT TO ALL) HAS REMINDED US THAT POSTS IN SOME APEC MEMBER STATES MAY NOT BE AS UP TO DATE AS WE WOULD LIKE ON RECENT APEC DEVELOPMENTS INCLUDING THE QUOTE THREE CHINAS UNQUOTE QUESTION. THIS HAS BEEN DUE IN PART TO AN INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION OF REPORTS HERE THAT WAS NOT WHOLLY APPROPRIATE AND HAS NOW BEEN AMENDED. IN PARALLEL, GRATEFUL IF POSTS WOULD, WHEN REPORTING APEC MATTERS, CONTINUE TO BEAR IN MIND POSSIBLE INTEREST OF POSTS IN OTHER

APEC MEMBER STATES.

2. FOR SEOUL. GRATEFUL IF YOU WOULD ALSO CONSIDER THIS WITH REGARD TO ANY REPORTING OF THE THIRD APEC MINISTERIAL MEETING,

12-14 NOVEMBER.
