HMG very concerned about continuing outflow from Vietnam.

tel. No. 53.9.
Problem not effecting HK only. Also concerned at general destabilising effect of increasing residual refugee population throughout S.E. Asia.
Growing perception in some countries that increasing proportion of outflow not
"genuine refugees".
We recognize resettlement can no longer be sole solution to problem posed by outflow.
Wish to explore with Honolulu Group what else could be done to resolve problem.
Understand Group has begun to consider these issues. No intention of using Group as platform for HK's resettlement needs.
