YOUR TELNO 304: ROYAL VISIT: TAIWAN PARTICIPATION IN BUSINESS EVENTS

1.

I TALKED THIS OVER WITH ROBERT DAVIES TODAY. HE SAID THAT, ALTHOUGH BRINGING A TAIWANESE DELEGATION TO SEOUL HAD BEEN IN THE AIR, HE HAD DECIDED NOT TO RUN WITH THE IDEA AND THAT PHILIP MORRICE WAS AWARE.

2.

HE DID, HOWEVER, SAY THAT HE SAW SCOPE FOR TAIWANESE INVOLVEMENT IN THE HONG KONG EVENT, IN VIEW OF THE DEEPENING BUSINESS CONTACTS BETWEEN TAIWAN AND GUANGDONG PROVINCE. I SAID THIS SEEMED TO RAISE EVEN MORE SENSITIVE QUESTIONS THAN TAIWAN INVOLVEMENT IN SEOUL. I SUGGESTED HE THINK CAREFULLY OVER HIS IDEAS AND PHONE HEAD OF FED ON HIS RETURN TO LONDON.
