[1] This Ministry of Foreign Affairs report, dated November 6, 1971, stated: The Chinese
delegation to the 26th UN General Assembly, headed by Qiao Guanhua and deputy headed
by Huang Hua, is expected to depart Beijing for New York via Shanghai and Paris on
November 9. First, upon the delegation's departure from Beijing, it is recommended that Ji
Pengfei, Li Yaowen, Ma Wenbo, other comrades of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Party Core
Group, heads of relevant departments, and heads of other diplomatic-related departments
be invited to see them off. Second, upon the delegation's arrival and departure from
Shanghai, it is recommended that a deputy director, a standing committee member, and the
head of the Foreign Affairs Group of the Municipal Revolutionary Committee be invited to
greet and see them off. Third, since many diplomatic envoys stationed in China have
volunteered to see the delegation off, it is recommended that the foreign ambassadors and
Soviet border officials be notified, and that foreign journalists stationed in Beijing be
informed. Fourth, a comprehensive announcement will be issued regarding the delegation's
departure from Beijing and its transit through Shanghai. On November 13, Mao Zedong
personally met with all members of the Chinese delegation to the 26th UN General
Assembly. On November 9, Premier Zhou Enlai, Ye Jianying, a member of the Political Bureau
of the CPC Central Committee, and other party and government leaders saw the delegation
off at the airport.
