VISIT BY CHINESE OFFICIALS TO HONG KONG.

WHEN MICHAEL SZE (SCA) WAS IN BEIJING IN JUNE, WANG FENGCHAO RAISED WITH HIM THE POSSIBILITY OF WANG QIREN VISITING HONG KONG. FOLLOWING FURTHER ENQUIRIES FROM NCNA, WE ISSUED AN INVITATION TO WANG TO VISIT HONG KONG IN OCTOBER AS A GUEST OF HKG. HOWEVER, NCNA HAVE RECENTLY ADVISED US THAT WANG WILL VISIT AS THEIR GUEST, ALTHOUGH HE WOULD APPRECIATE A 5-DAY PROGRAMME OF BRIEFINGS BY HKG. WE HAVE CONFIRMED TO NCNA THAT WE WOULD BE

HAPPY TO PROVIDE BRIEFINGS AND HAVE ASKED THEM TO LET US KNOW THE

DATES OF WANG'S VISIT.
