Brussels, May 31 2005
Dear Mr Wu,
I duly received your letter of May 30 in which you kindly invite Her Majesty the Queen to visit your school in the Guangdong Province during their Majesties’ State Visit to the People’s Republic of China from June 4 to June 8.
Her Majesty the Queen was pleased to learn that the collaboration between your school and the Belgian primary school of Meulebeke is such a success. She asked me to sincerely thank you for your invitation. I am sorry, however, to let you know that the programme of the State Visit has been established long in advance and that it will, unfortunately, be impossible to put another visit on their Majesties’ busy schedule.
The Queen wishes you, as well as all the students of the Zhixin Primary School, a pleasant continuation with their Belgian peers.
Sincerely yours,
Caroline Vermeulen
Secretary to the Queen
