OUR TELNO 301 AND HONG KONG TELNO 2053: BILATERAL AGREEMENTS
1

UK/INDONESIA
FOLLOWING FURTHER INTER-DEPARTMENTAL DISCUSSIONS, WE NOW THINK FOR THE REASONS OUTLINED IN SECOND TUR THAT WE SHOULD CONCENTRATE OUR EFFORTS OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS ON
ESTABLISHING AN ACCEPTABLE DEFINITION OF TERRITORY IN THE HONG KONG/INDONESIA ASA.
2.
WE BELIEVE THE BEST WAY OF ACHIEVING THIS IS BY
REFRAINING, FOR THE TIME BEING, FROM APPROACHING THE DFA AND DGAC UNTIL AFTER THE NEXT ROUND OF ASA NEGOTIATIONS IN EARLY SEPTEMBER TO ALLOW THE EFFORTS OF THE INDONESIAN CIVIL AIR AUTHORITIES TO BEAR FRUIT. NOTWITHSTANDING PARA 3 OF FIRST TUR, YOU SHOULD THEREFORE TAKE NO REPEAT NO ACTION UNTIL INSTRUCTED ON ANY OF THE AGREEMENTS. IT FOLLOWS THAT YOU SHOULD AVOID ANY EXPLICIT OR IMPLICIT MENTION OF LINKAGE AS WE BELIEVE THIS MAY INDUCE THE INDONESIANS TO HARDEN THEIR ATTITUDE TOWARDS THE QUESTION OF TERRITORIAL DEFINITION AS A WHOLE.
3.
WE WILL CONSIDER OUR OPTIONS IN THE LIGHT OF THE SEPTEMBER ROUND OF AIR SERVICES TALKS.
