1.

pa.

WE ARE ALL VERY PLEASED THAT YOU ARE COMING OUT TO HONG KONG FOR THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S VISIT AND WILL DO OUR BEST TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU DO NOT FEATURE ON ANY LIST OF THE OFFICIAL DELEGATION.

2.

THANK YOU FOR DETAILS OF FLIGHT TIMES. WE WILL MAKE SURE THAT YOU AND CHRISTOPHER ARE GIVEN THE USUAL RECEPTION ARRANGEMENTS.

3. I AGREE THAT IT MAKES SENSE NOT TO MAKE ANY FIRM PLANS FOR YOU ON 28 JULY. WE CAN CONSIDER WHILE YOU ARE HERE HOW BEST YOU CAN SPEND YOUR TIME, IN THE LIGHT OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE'S DISCUSSIONS. IF YOU AND CHRISTOPHER WOULD BE FREE FOR LUNCH ON 28 JULY, I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO TAKE YOU OUT SOMEWHERE.
