I am pleased to have received a speedy offer of assistance with the intervention of the Foreign Office. I have been advised that the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs will raise the matter of Normans Flight plan in a face to face meeting in Tokyo next week. With Norman’s urgent need to meet the summer weather window over the Bering Strait and Alaska, I would hope that the flight plan will be speedily finalised.”<br /><br />In his response, the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, Owen Paterson MP said “I understand that they (The British Embassy) are in contact with the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Officials in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office will also contact the Japanese Embassy in London to try and get them to speed up the process with their colleagues in Tokyo.”<br /><br />The Secretary of State for NI went on to say “Jeremy Browne MP, Secretary of State for foreign Affairs is due in Japan on 9 July and Tokyo on 11 July and he will raise the issue with the appropriate authorities during his visit.”Roy Beggsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3969453786501704363.post-66062617268603115332011-06-30T16:30:46.852+01:002011-06-30T16:30:46.852+01:00Roy Beggs MLA has contacted Mr Keiichi Hayashi Amb...Roy Beggs MLA has contacted Mr Keiichi Hayashi Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Embassy of Japan, plus Owen Patterson MP, Secretary of State for Northern Ireland requesting their help to get Gyrox flying again.Andy Wilsonnoreply@blogger.com
