SINGAPORE'S TELNO. 115 AND YOUR TELNO 89: IMF/IBRD 1997 ANNUAL
MEETINGS.
1. YOUR TUR IS AN ACCURATE SUMMARY OF THE SITUATION. WE HAVE NOTHING TO ADD.
2. YOU MAY WISH TO NOTE THAT OUR SUBMISSION TO THE EXECUTIVE COUNCIL, ORIGINALLY PLANNED ON 17 MARCH, HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR EARLY APRIL. WE WILL SEEK A STEER FROM THE COUNCIL ON THE LINE TO TAKE WITH THE CHINESE CONCERNING HONG KONG'S ROLE IN THE 1997 MEETINGS. IF THE CHINESE RESPONSE IS SATISFACTORY, WE WOULD THEN
REVERT TO EXCO TO SEEK CONFIRMATION THAT WE MAY PROCEED WITH THE STEPS TOWARDS MAKING A FORMAL APPLICATION TO THE IMF/IBRD TO HOST THE 1997 MEETINGS. THE INITIAL ONE WOULD BE TO ASK FINANCE
COMMITTEE FOR APPROVAL IN PRINCIPLE OF THE FINANCIAL COMMITMENT
INVOLVED. ALL THIS MEANS THAT WE ARE STILL SOME WAY FROM MAKING A FORMAL APPLICATION.
