BN (0) Facilitating Travel to Third Countries
Thank you very much for your letter of 12 Dec.
I find the reports from posts most interesting and useful.
The Hong Kong press attaches great importance to the international acceptance of the BN (0) status and passport and I would be most grateful if you can keep me posted on development. As of today, six nations (Switzerland, Spain, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Canada) have publicly announced their recognition of the BN (0) passport.
Yours sincerely,
(LEE Lap-sun)
for Secretary for Security
