·
I WOULD WELCOME A VISIT BY THE SECRETARY OF STATE ON 28 AND 29
JULY AND BELIEVE MR HURD WOULD FIND TIME SPENT HERE WELL
WORTHWHILE.
2. ON PRESENT PLANS BOTH THE MALAYSIAN FOREIGN MINISTER, BADAWI, AND PRIME MINISTER MAHATHIR WILL BE HERE. HOWEVER, IT WOULD BE ESSENTIAL FOR THE FOREIGN SECRETARY TO ARRIVE ON THE MORNING OF 28
JULY. THE MALAYSIAN CABINET WILL HOLD ITS REGULAR WEEKLY MEETING
ON THE MORNING OF WEDNESDAY 29 JULY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO ARRANGE
CALLS THAT MORNING ON SENIOR MINISTERS.
3. ON THE ASSUMPTION THAT THE SECRETARY OF STATE COULD ARRIVE BY
CHARTER FLIGHT ON THE MORNING OF 28 JULY THERE IS NO BRITISH AIRWAYS FLIGHT, AND BOTH THE CATHAY PACIFIC AND MALAYSIAN AIRLINES SERVICES ARRIVE IN THE EVENING), I WOULD ENVISAGE A PROGRAMME ON
THE FOLLOWING LINES:
28 JULY
AFTERNOON
TALKS (1
1-1/2 HOURS) WITH MALAYSIAN FOREIGN
MINISTER AND OFFICIALS
EVENING
CALL ON PRIME MINISTER DR MAHATHIR
DINNER GIVEN BY MALAYSIAN FOREIGN MINISTER
