SUGGESTIONS ON THIS WOULD BE VERY WELCOME.
6
I HAVE ALSO SCHEDULED A POSSIBLE VISIT TO VIETNAM IN THE SPRING. HOWEVER, THIS WOULD DEPEND IN PART ON DEVELOPMENTS CONCERNING VIETNAMESE MIGRANTS.
IN MAY I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN TO LONDON FOR MEETINGS ON HONG KONG. I HAVE PROVISIONALLY BLOCKED OFF 20-28 MAY TAKING INTO
ACCOUNT THE POSSIBLE TIMING FOR THE PARLIAMENTARY WHITSUN RECESS
WHICH I UNDERSTAND MAY RUN FROM 26/27 MAY TO 6/7 JUNE.
8. FROM 12-27 NOVEMBER, I PLAN TO REINSTATE MY VISIT TO SAN FRANCISCO AND LOS ANGELES POSSIBLY TO COINCIDE WITH A HONG KONG PROMOTION. I MAY ALSO PAY A VISIT TO EITHER SEATTLE OR VANCOUVER ON THE WAY. I ALSO PLAN TO ATTEND THE JOINT PLENARY SESSION FOR HONG KONG/JAPAN AND JAPAN/HONG KONG BUSINESS COOPERATION COMMITTEES SCHEDULED FOR LATE NOVEMBER/EARLY DECEMBER IN TOKYO. DEPENDING ON THE TIMING OF THIS MEETING I WILL EITHER VISIT TOKYO ON THE WAY
BACK FROM NORTH AMERICA OR ON A SEPARATE TRIP FROM HONG KONG.
9. I HAVE RECEIVED AN INVITATION TO VISIT SOUTH KOREA. I HAVE CONSIDERED TRYING TO DO SO IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE US AND JAPAN VISITS. BUT THIS WOULD LEAD TO MY BEING OUT OF HONG KONG FOR RATHER A LONG TIME IN NOVEMBER NEXT YEAR. A VISIT IN 1995, POSSIBLY AS PART OF A PROMOTION PROGRAMME FOR HONG KONG IN ASIA, IS LIKELY TO BE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE.
GRATEFUL FOR ANY COMMENTS THAT YOU AND OTHER ADDRESSEES MAY HAVE AT THIS STAGE.
