On 10 September 1992 the Chinese side informed the British

side that the Chinese side agreed in principle to the continued

application of the Convention to the Hong Kong Special

Administrative Region after 1997. Discussions will in due course

take place in the International Rights and Obligations sub-group of

the Joint Liaison Group on the action to be taken by the two sides

to ensure the continued application to the Hong Kong Special

Administrative Region after 30 June 1997 of the international rights

and obligations affecting Hong Kong which arise out of the

Convention. Meanwhile, it is appropriate that those rights and

obligations should be implemented in Hong Kong's domestic law by

legislation which can continue in force after 30 June 1997.
