OBJET : VIETNAM AND THE INDO-CHINESE REFUGEE PROBLEM
PART II OF II PARTS
3
IN PARAGRAPH 2 OF CPE LON 350 THE UK CONFIRMED THAT IT EXPECTED TO PARTICIPATE IN BILATERAL TALKS WITH VIETNAM CONCERNING THE PROBLEM OF VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE IN HONG KONG. ARRANGEMENTS HAVE NOW BEEN MADE FOR THE TALKS TO BE HELD IN HANOI FROM 3-5 AUGUST. THE UNHCR HAD SIMILAR TALKS IN HANOI ON 20-23 JULY. THE UK EXPECTS TO HOLD FURTHER TALKS WITH VIETNAM AND EXPECTS THAT
OTHERS WILL DO THE SAME.
4.
THE UK BELIEVES IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF THE DEMARCHE COULD BE MADE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE TO MAINTAIN THE PRESSURE ON THE VIETNAMESE. IF PARTNERS HAVE NO FURTHER COMMENTS ON THE REVISED DRAFT DEMARCHE BY 120OZ ON 1 AUGUST, THE UK SUGGESTS THAT THE PRESIDENCY SHOULD MAKE ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE DEMARCHE TO BE CARRIED OUT AT THE EARLIEST OPPORTUNITY. (THE UK BELIEVES THAT IN PRACTICE THIS WILL INVOLVE AN INSTRUCTION TO THE FRENCH EMBASSY AS THE CURRENT PRESIDENCY REPRESENTATIVE IN HANOI
TAKE ACTION.)
