VISIT TO THE NETHERLANDS BY THE GOVERNOR OF HONG KONG
1.
Hong Kong telno 2796 (92) alerted us that the Governor planned to visit the Netherlands as part of a tour including France, Germany and the UK in November.
2. Anthony Woo, Deputy Representative in the Hong Kong Government Office in Brussels called on me on 29 January to discuss the visit. The programme he is working on is:
16 November
Late afternoon:
Governor's party arrive from Bonn. Attend Gala evening arranged by HKG at perhaps the Kurhaus or Huis ter Duyn (dinner for 200, fashion show, etc). Overnight probably at the hotel.
17 November
0900-1200
Lunch
Afternoon
3.
: Meetings with Lubbers, Kooijmans,
Andriessen, van Rooy (?).
HKG.
Arranged by
: At business conference in Amsterdam to
be arranged by HKG.
:
Press conference at Schiphol. Depart for Paris.
Woo said that HKG would be making the running on this. He thought that our involvement would probably be limited to helping them with guest lists and, I would guess, probably with press arrangements. I advised Woo to get his bids for Ministerial meetings in early, and he said that he had already spoken to Jan-Pieter Kleiweg (head of the MFA Asia bureau) about all this.
