FOREIGN SECRETARY:
My visit to Hong Kong has been very worthwhile. I have weOA
as much as I can: the development of Bong Kong's infrastructure,
the container port, the polytechnic where future generations are
being trained, Chi Na Van refugee camp, the Green Island reception
centre for refugens. I have talked to as many Hong Kong people as
community leadere, young professionals, members of LEDGCO,
members of EXCO and laet, but not least, the Governor and officials
of the Hong Kong Government, and I have heard a very wide range of
views and opinions.
I can
I have been particularly struck, although not surprised, by the strong feelings aroused by the arrival of the Vietnamese boat people and the problem which they cause. I pay tribute to the generous and humanitarian response of the Hong Kong Government and
people to their plight.
Mr Moni
Mr Fortman
