MY TELNO 877 : HONG KONG: DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CHINESE: SIXTH ROUND, SECOND DAY, 24 JUNE: PRIVATE SESSION: YOUR POSSIBLE VISIT
1. I REFERRED TO MY EARLIER DISCUSSION WITH JIANG ENZHU ABOUT QIAN
QICHEN'S DIARY AROUND 9 JULY DURING MY PRIVATE TALK WITH HIM AT THE
END OF TODAY'S SESSION. I DID SO AFTER I HAD EMPHASISED THE
IMPORTANCE WHICH MINISTERS ATTACHED TO GETTING CHINESE VIEWS
QUICKLY ON ALL THE ISSUES WE HAD TO DEAL WITH. I SAID THAT IF WE
HAD NOT HEARD ALL THE CHINESE SIDE'S VIEWS BY THE END OF THIS ROUND
IT WAS HARD FOR ME TO SEE HOW I WOULD BE ABLE TO MAKE A RECOMMENDATION ABOUT YOUR COMING HERE. THIS WOULD BE BECAUSE I DID NOT BELIEVE YOU WOULD ENTERTAIN ANY PROPOSAL TO DO SO UNLESS YOU
HAD A FULL PICTURE OF THE CHINESE SIDE'S IDEAS. I REPEATED THAT I
WAS TALKING OF A PERSONAL IDEA. I DID NOT WANT JIANG TO
MISUNDERSTAND ME.
2.
JIANG MADE NO DIRECT RESPONSE, BUT AT A LATER POINT IN THE CONVERSATION SAID THAT IN RESPONSE TO MY EARLIER QUERY HE HAD
CHECKED QIAN'S DIARY. QIAN WOULD BE IN CHINA ROUND ABOUT THE PERIOD BEGINNING 9 JULY, SO AS FAR AS TIMING WAS CONCERNED, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. I THANKED JIANG FOR THIS INFORMATION AND MADE NO
FURTHER COMMENTS.
