UNHCR'S ROLE IN HONG KONG
3
Between 1 January and 16 October, UNHCR had resettled
13,831 refugees in more than 20 countries. Relations between
the UNHCR and the Hong Kong Government are good. We are
striving to ensure that UNHCR allocations will fully take
into account the fact that Hong Kong now has a greater number
of refugees under its temporary care than any other country
in the region.
