IS THERE ANY DOUBT IN YOUR MIND, FOREIGN SECRETARY, THAT WHAT YOU NEGOTIATE IN THE COMING MONTHS WILL SIMPLY BE IRRELEVANT TO WHATEVER THE POLITICAL SITUATION MIGHT BE, BOTH IN BRITAIN AND CHINA 13 YEARS FROM NOW.
WHAT WE NEGOTIATE DURING THE COMING MONTHS, WHAT WE HAVE NEGOTIATED IN THE MONTHS PASSED, IS ABOUT THE POINTS THAT NEED TO BE INCLUDED IN THE ARRANGEMENTS OF WHICH I SPOKE, WHICH NEEDS TO BE SPELT
THAT IS WHY OUT IN THE AGREEMENT, OF WHICH I SPOKE.
THAT IS THE
ET IS SO IMPORTANT TO SECURE AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE TWO NATIONS, ENTERED INTO AS AN INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENT THAT IS INTENDED TO BE BINDING. BEST ASSURANCE OF THE CONTINUITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE MATTERS WE ARE DISCUSSING AND SELKING TO AGREE.

IN THE FORM OF THE AGREEMENT WHICH YOU HAVE DESCRIBED HERE, WHICH WOULD BE AN AUTONOMOUSLY ADMINISTERED MONG KONG, UNDER CHINESE SOVEREIGNTY, CAN YOU
-
YOU PORESEE MY QUESTION REFERS TO THE MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING LINKS INTERNATIONALLY WITH HONG KONG AKTATI E TEATA-DATE-PLA RECOGNISE A SOMENHAT AUTONOMOUS HONG KONG, INDEPENDENT OF CHINA, IN TERMS OF MONETARY FACTORS, SUCH AS TEXTILE QUOTAS AND THAT SORT OF THING?
THAT IS ONE OF THE VERY IMPORTANT FEATURES THAT WE DO NEED TO ACHIEVE. I BELIEVE THAT UNDER THE ARRANGEMENTS WE HAVE IN MIND IT WOULD BE POSSIBLE, AND CERTAINLY DESTRABLE, TO SECURE AGREEMENT ON THE CONTINUATION OF HONG KONG'S CONTINUED PARTICIPATION IN THE WIDE NETWORK OF INTERNATIONAL AGREEMENTS IN WHICH IT ALREADY PLAYS A PART, AND ITS MEMBERSHIP DF INTERNATIONA:. ORGANISATIONS OF THE KIND YOU HAVE IN MIND IS IMPORTANT IN THE SAME CONTEXT YO ENSURE THAT THE HONG KONG DOLLAR WILL CONTINUE TO CINGULATE FREELY YND AS AN INDEPENDENT CONVERTIBLE CURRENCY. THAT ALL THOGE (~INGS WHICH PRE PAST OF THE ESUANTIAL ECONOMIC FRAMEWORK OF HONG KONG WOULD BE SCHTEVABLE IN THE FRAMEWORK THAT WE HAVE. IN MIND.

WOULD YOU TELL. VS WHAT THE BRIYIQH GOVERNÝZN“ KILL DO IN THE IS YEARS BEFORE 1997 TO MAINTAIN THE PROSPERITY AND STABILITY OF HONG KONG?
IN THE 13 YEARS UP TO 1997, IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE THE INTENTION OF THE BAITISH GOVERNMENT TO MAINTAIN RESPONSIBILITY FOR ADMINISTRATION OF HONG KONG IN EXACTLY THE PRESENT WAY. WE ARE CONCERNED. AS I RE SURE THE PEOPLE OF HONG KONG ARE CONCERNED, TO MAINTAIN CONTINUING PROSPERITY AND STABILITY ON EXACTLY THE PRESENT LINES. WHAT WE WANT TU ACHIEVE 39 A CHANGE IN 1997 WITH THE LEAST POSSIBLE DISTURBANCE. FROM NOW ON UP TO 1997, THE MAINTENANCE OF ALL THOSE THINGS WHICH ARE THE FOUNDATION OF JONG KONG'S PRESENT PAOSPERITY, AND AFTER 1997, THE LEAST POSSIBLE CHANGE 50 PEOPLE CAN HAVE. CONFIDENCE THAT THE WAY OF LIFE WHICH THEY KNOW TO BE THE FOUNDATION OF THEIR SUCCESS WILL CONTINUE.
