HONG KONG: VISA ABOLITION AGREEMENTS
см
1. I attach copies of Hong Kong telno 945, and a draft ExCo Memorandum. Unfortunately, the letters of 30 October and 1 November 1991 referred to in tel 945 do not appear to be on file.
2.
HKG recommend in the draft Memorandum (para 3) that they should consult the Chinese side of the JLG on a proposal to negotiate with third countries open-dated visa-abolitioon agreements (VAAS).
3.
I would be grateful for your comments on the draft Memorandum and the draft Model Visa Abolition Agreement (at Annex A) in due course.

Dr Harkin,
1. I have no comments on the draft Exco Memorandum
2. I have a few minor
Agreement:
the draft
queries on the
Model
(i) that is it proposed to insert inside the brackets
" [and.
I" in Article 2 and subsequent Articles>
(ii) In Article 6, what does "on
a reciprocal basis" mean? Does this
application by particular individuals? If so, how can it be "reciprocal"? Or does
provision prossmably relate to extensions on
it mean that the 2 Gerenments con
agree
to increase a
blanket
increase in the no. of days permitted in Aniles 2 and 4? If so, it is not clear from the drafting.
