YOUR TELNO 537: VISIT TO CHINA BY MINISTER FOR AGRICULTURE
1.
WE NOTE THE CONSTRAINTS ON THE MINISTER'S TRAVEL DATES.
CHINESE OFFICIAL HOLIDAYS ON 30 SEPTEMBER AND 1 OCTOBER INTRUDE INTO THE PROPOSED VISIT PERIOD. LOCAL CUSTOM IS HOWEVER FOR THE
CHINESE TO BEGIN THEIR HOLIDAY ON 30 SEPTEMBER AT MIDDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH 1, 2 AND INTO 3 OCTOBER. TO FACILITATE THIS THEY WILL WORK THROUGHOUT THE PREVIOUS WEEKEND INCLUDING SUNDAY 29 SEPTEMBER.
2. IT WOULD THEREFORE BE FEASIBLE TO ARRANGE A 4 DAY PROGRAMME FOR THE MINISTER OVER THE PERIOD 26-29 SEPTEMBER, LEAVING MONDAY 1 OCTOBER AND POSSIBLY TUESDAY FOR A MORE RELAXED INGREDIENT. THIS SUGGESTS A RETURN ON EITHER 2 OR 3 OCTOBER, EARLIER THAN CURRENTLY PLANNED.
3.
PLEASE ADVISE WHETHER A PROGRAMME ALONG THESE LINES WOULD BE
ACCEPTABLE.
