MY TRAVEL PLANS : MID 1993 TO 1994
1. MIFT CONTAINS AN UPDATED OUTLINE OF MY PROVISIONAL OVERSEAS TRAVEL PLANS FROM MID 1993 TO 1994, EXCLUDING ANY VISITS TO CHINA.
2. I WILL BE IN LONDON FROM 28 JULY TO 2 AUGUST. MY OFFICE IS IN TOUCH SEPARATELY WITH HKD TO SEE WHETHER IT WILL BE POSSIBLE TO ARRANGE MEETINGS ON 29 OR 30 JULY WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE, MR GOODLAD AND ANY SENIOR OFFICIALS WHO MAY BE AVAILABLE. I AM DUE TO SPEAK AT THE TABLET OPEN DAY ON THE EVENING OF 29 JULY.
3. WE ARE ALSO WRITING SEPARATELY ON MY VISIT TO EUROPE. THERE IS AN OUTSIDE POSSIBILITY THAT THIS MAY INCLUDE A SIDE TRIP TO SEATTLE
FOR THE APEC MEETING.
4.
IN 1994, I HAVE AGREED TO SPEAK AT THE INFORMAL GATHERING OF ECONOMIC LEADERS ORGANISED BY THE WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM IN DAVOS. WE ARE NOW WORKING OUT A HONG KONG AGENDA. DEPENDING ON THE DATES OF MY STAY IN DAVOS, I MAY ALSO PAY A VISIT TO LONDON BEFOREHAND. I HAVE THEREFORE BLOCKED OFF 21-30 JANUARY FOR THE WHOLE TRIP.
5.
IN FEBRUARY, THE CHINESE NEW YEAR HOLIDAY WILL FALL ON 10-13 FEBRUARY. I WOULD LIKE TO VISIT AUSTRALIA IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS TO MEET SENIOR POLITICAL AND OTHER PROMINENT FIGURES. THIS WILL BE MY FIRST VISIT AS THE GOVERNOR OF HONG KONG AND I WOULD BE VERY GRATEFUL FOR CANBERRA'S ADVICE BEFORE WE CONTACT THE AUSTRALIAN CONSUL GENERAL HERE. I HOPE TO TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY TO VISIT MELBOURNE AND SYDNEY TO PUT ACROSS THE HONG KONG MESSAGE. ANY
