I  am pleased to have receivred your letter of 31 July 1990

(CIP/SR/90/391)  and wish   to reply on the following specific

issues which concern China:

misunderstanding about the Chinese participants on board,as you

mentioned in your letter only the. second group of names submitted

by the Chinese participants to the Meeting of the Sub-Committee

for the Maritime Route in Venice, while the first group listed in

the document (SR/SCM/90/6) was aloparently omitted.Therefore, in

conformity with the decisions of the Sub-Committee at its Venice

Meeting  (SR/SCM/90/2) ,  I  would  like  to  make  the  following

clarifications :

2.Arrival and daparture times: According to the decisions

of the Sub-Committee for the martitme Route at tis Baghdad

Meeting (SR/SC/90/1),the departure time from Huangpu will be

0900/13.02/91 and the arrival time at Quanzhou 1500/14.02/91.In

view of the tidal factors in Quanzhou,the Chinese delegation

proposed at the Venice Meeting to the representative of the Omani

Royal Yachr Squadron that the arrival timeat Quanzhou be

advance from 1500 to 1000/1100 of 14 February 1991.The Omani

representative accepted the Chinese proposal in principle and

suggested that the peparture time from Huangpu,be advanced to the

afternoon of 12 February 1991 accordingly. Yet,the departure

time from Huangpu has been further advanced to 1000/12.02/91,as

indicated on page 10 of the Report of the Venice Meeting

According to recent calculation made bu Chinese specialists,

however,the distance between Huangpu and Quanzhou is only around

410 nautical miles. There fore, normally alargepassenger ship

like FULK-SALAMAN will be able to cover this voyage in some

thirty hours. Moreover,a two-and-half day programme has already

been made bu Guangzhou for the International Team. So please

as to whether participants of the media should be accommodated at

their own expense

waive the harbour dues for both ports in China.

of China,all passengers on board including the Team members and
