Sir
on the stocks a number of short notes on key issues which would provide a basis to talk him through the issues. David Ford will want to pay an early visit and take the Governor Designate through the Hong Kong scene. We should encourage this, once we have had a week or so to talk to the new Governor ourselves. Hong Kong will also no doubt supply mountains of written briefing.
Appointments
7. Apart from FCO Ministers and officials, the Governor Designate will need to make contact in his first couple of weeks with the following:
-
8.
Mr Yaxley
Ambassador Ma
the Anglo/Hong Kong Parliamentary Group
the Friends
the Defence Secretary
other Hong Kong representatives in London (the Trade Development Council and the OMELCO Office)
the Keswicks and Swires, and representatives of the other major British companies in Hong Kong.
There will no doubt be many others: but we should make sure that he does not miss out any significant constituency in his early round of calls.
