"The safe and peaceful return of Hong Kong to China in 1997 was a historic
and moving event" and was also the best outcome for the Chinese mainland, Hong
Kong and Britain and for the whole world as well, Heath added.
Speaking about Deng in an interview with the Xinhua News Agency in 2004,
Heath said: "His personality was quiet, but also intense. He thought things out
beforehand ... he never hesitated."
"And he did have a great vision of China, a very broad vision, also of its
relations with other countries when he introduced reforms and opening-up
policies in 1978," Heath added.
Heath had two long talks with Mao in 1974 and 1975, a great many meetings
with Deng and also met then President Jiang Zemin in 1995.
