Mr. Mose
I had a good meeting with the British members of the Group to discuss
the conference agenda. The British team this year is particularly strong, and includes the Governor of Hong Kong. I am delighted to see that representation. B-S
on the Japanese side is just as impressive. This well reflects the strength of
UK/Japan relations to which the Group has contributed so much. I am firmly
behind the initiatives they are pursuing to improve the relationship further.
I wish their conference in Japan every success.
One of the main subjects I discussed with them was the position of
Britain in Europe. We agreed that an important message from the conference
should be the British Government's commitment to being at the heart of
Europe. The United Kingdom will remain the ideal base for Japanese industry
to tackle the wider European market. We are delighted at the extent of
Japanese investment in this country. We shall continue to welcome Japanese
companies and to do what we can to ensure the success of their operations here. We are particularly glad that several of them have established research, and
development facilities in the UK.
