Conclusion
6 -
A great deal happening in the region. I have not
touched on the growth of ASEAN cooperation, China's new relationship with South Korea or regional
security concerns. But hope I have shown that
Britain remains centrally involved in Asia/Pacific
affairs. We will continue to do so, and Hong Kong
will remain at the centre of our regional interests.
A very high priority for the Government to see effective administration of Hong Kong until 1 July
1997, and a successful future beyond that. Hong Kong
will remain a lynch-pin of our Asian interests long
after that date. Investment we are making in a new
Consulate-General
which will be one of our largest
diplomatic posts anywhere in the world - a token of our intention to stay engaged.
