what is proposed?

Any further thoughts? Brfumes Doves 72068

217.

1 THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HONG KONG TRADE DEVELOPMENT COUNCIL HAS SUGGESTED TO ME THAT I MIGHT TAKE AN EARLY TRIP AROUND THE DELTA REGION TO GET A FLAVOUR OF DEVELOPMENTS THERE. HE THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD BE EASIER TO ARRANGE THIS IN MY SBTC CAPACITY, BUT THAT THE BENEFIT WOULD OF COURSE EXTEND TO MY SUBSEQUENT JLG RESPONSIBILITIES. I AGREE. A VISIT WOULD BE VERY VALUABLE.

2. HKTDC WOULD MAKE THE NECESSARY LOGISTIC ARRANGEMENTS, CAR, PROGRAMME, ETC. I WOULD NEED TO APPLY FOR A VISA HERE, BUT I ASSUME THAT THIS WOULD NOT BE TOO COMPLICATED.

3. GRATEFUL FOR PEKING'S AGREEMENT AND THAT OF THE FCO. I WOULD THEN DRAW UP A PROGRAMME WITH CTU AND TDC INPUT. AT PRESENT I AM CONSIDERING ABOUT 3 DAYS (2 NIGHTS) TAKING IN SHENZHEN, CANTON, AND A NUMBER OF CENTRES TO THE WEST OF THE DELTA, WHICH I HAVE NEVER VISITED CE.G. FOSHAN, SUNDE, JIANGMEN AND ZHUHAI), RETURNING VIA MACAU. I WOULD ATTEMPT TO INCLUDE ONE OR TWO MAJOR PROJECTS AND JVS (PARTICULARLY WITH U.K. INVOLVEMENT). TIMING LIKELY TO BE EARLY

AUGUST.

4. FCO PLEASE PASS TO SIR R MCLAREN, MR GALSWORTHY C/O HOMS.
