Special envoy Wu Zexiang was originally supposed to come to Tashkent tonight by train, but at the last minute the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs said his visa had expired and they would not issue another one. This type of thing is very unpleasant. In future when Liquan is back in Xinjiang, He will not be so enthusiastic about helping with entry visas for the Soviet Union. The people of the Soviet Government are really foolish in handling matters.
