HONG KONG: CEREMONY TO MARK TRANSFER OF SOVEREIGNTY
Taken
1. Please refer to Mr Howlett's minute of 18 August about possible independence ceremony precedents which might be useful in planning for Hong Kong in 1997.
2. There do not appear to have been any special features of the Zimbabwe independence ceremony which are likely to be particularly relevant to the rather different situation in Hong Kong.
You may, however, like to have the attached copies of papers which give some details of what was involved in Zimbabwe in April 1980.
