PERSONAL FOR PAUL, HKD FROM GOVERNOR
YOUR TELNO 436: MEETING WITH HONG KONG BUSINESSMEN WITH THE PRIME MINISTER
1.
IT WOULD OBVIOUSLY BE HELPFUL IF THE PRIME MINISTER COULD EMPHASISE HMG'S CONTINUING COMMITMENT TO HONG KONG. THE BUSINESSMEN ATTENDING THE LUNCH ARE QUITE INFLUENTIAL. REMARKS SUCH AS THESE WILL BE WELL RECEIVED AND SPREAD FAIRLY WIDELY THROUGH THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY.
2.
GIVEN THAT THOSE ATTENDING THE LUNCH ARE MEMBERS OF THE ANGLO-HONG KONG TRUST, IT WOULD ALSO BE HELPFUL IF THE PRIME MINISTER COULD ENCOURAGE THE TRUST TO CONCENTRATE ON PRACTICAL PROJECTS THAT BRING LASTING BENEFITS TO HONG KONG AND THE INDIVIDUALS CONCERNED. THE ENDOWMENT OF A CHAIR OF BUSINESS STUDIES AT HONG KONG UNIVERSITY IS A GOOD EXAMPLE.
