INTERVIEWER:
How difficult a job have you given him?
071 270 3734
P.02
FOREIGN SECRETARY:
It is as difficult a job as is in the gift of the Crown and that
is why it is such good news that someone of that calibre is going
to be doing it.
INTERVIEWER:
But what qualifications does he have for the job, he said for
example this afternoon that he was not going to learn Chinese?
FOREIGN SECRETARY:
He can surround himself, we can surround him with people of huge
experience in matters of China and matters of Hong Kong and of
course we will do that, we are well gifted as a country in that
kind of knowledge and experience. What Chris has, and I have
worked with him in Northern Ireland, I have worked with him in
many difficult situations, is courage, wisdom and determination.
INTERVIEWER:
How do you think it comes to the people of Hong Kong, simply to be
told who their new Governor is without any real consultation?
