Dear Mr. Candessus:
On behalf of the Government of the People's Republic of China, we take
great honor in formally extending an invitation to hold the 1997 Annual
Meetings of the Boards of Governors of the World Bank Group and the
International Monetary Fund (the "Organizations") in Hong Kong, to take
place during September 1997. As you know, the People's Republic of China
will resume the exercise of sovereignty over Hong Kong with effect from
July 1, 1997, and thus the People's Republic of China will be in a position
to serve as host country at that time.
Starting July 1, 1997, the Government of the People's Republic of China
will ensure that prompt issuance of visas and expeditious clearance of
customs will be accorded to all Governors, Executive Directors, Alternates,
members of committees, representatives, advisors to any of the foregoing
persons, officers and employees of the Organizations, accredited observers,
special guests, press, and any other category of participants desired by the
Organizations to be present for the Meetings, as well as the accompanying
In addition, the Government of the
family members of all the foregoing. (In
People's Republic of China will promptly replace all unexpired visas issued
before July 1, 1997 in connection with the 1997 Annual Meetings with
equivalent visas for entry into and exit from Hong Kong.
