VISIT TO SOUTH EAST ASIA BY FRENCH STATE SECRETARY FOR FOREIGN AFFAIRS
1.
According to Le Monde the French State Secretary for Foreign Affairs, Didier Bariani, is due to visit Malaysia, Thailand and Brunei at the end of December. Apart from a general brief for French policy in Asia
(and Latin America), Bariani has specific responsibil- ities regarding questions including refugees and visa requirements. You may therefore wish to consider with Hong Kong whether there would be advantage in inviting him to make a brief visit to Hong Kong during this tour, to familiarise himself with the refugee and visa dossiers.
