YOUR TELNOS 607 AND 612 TO WASHINGTON: G7 ECONOMIC SUMMIT: REQUEST FOR BILATERALS FOR PRIME MINISTER AND SECRETARY OF STATE

1.

-

NISHIGAHIRO, HEAD SECOND WEST EUROPE DIVISION, MFA, CONFIRMED TODAY THAT IN PRINCIPLE THEY EXPECTED TO BE ABLE TO ARRANGE A BILATERAL FOR THE PRIME MINISTER WITH MR MIYAZAWA LASTING 30 40 MINUTES SOMETIME BETWEEN 1000 AND 1200 ON 7 JULY. THEY WILL LET US KNOW AS SOON AS THEY HAVE A DEFINITE TIME. IT IS LIKELY TO BE AT THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICIAL RESIDENCE WHICH INVOLVES ONLY A VERY QUICK TRIP FROM THE HOTEL.

2.

NISHIGAHIRO'S INITIAL THINKING WAS THAT THE TWO PRIME MINISTERS MIGHT WISH TO CONCENTRATE ON SUMMIT MATTERS WITH ONLY A BRIEF EXCHANGE ON BILATERAL ISSUES. GIVEN THAT MIYAZAWA MAY WELL NOT BE IN OFFICE WHEN THE PRIME MINISTER COMES IN SEPTEMBER THIS SEEMS SENSIBLE. BUT WE SHOULD NEVERTHELESS FLAG UP KEY MARKET ACCESS ISSUES/CONTRACTS ON WHICH WE EXPECT PROGRESS THEN.
