A telegram from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that according to the telegram from Ambassador Gu, Eden would come to Moscow with Harriman, and they asked me to pay particular attention. I asked Shaozhou to meet the British Ambassador. (As Shaozhou was just back from China, people wouldn’t be suspicious about his visit.) According to the British Ambassador, regarding the conference place and the three Foreign Ministers, the Soviet Union proposed Moscow, Britain proposed London and the United States North Africa. But they haven’t decided yet. If they convened in Moscow, he would be in touch with me all the time and would tell me the conference content.
