CONFIDENTIAL
SECRETARY OF STATE'S MEETING WITH MR ELLEMAN-JENSEN, 19 FEBRUARY
HONG KONG
Objective
-
To encourage the Danish Government to take measures to help retain key personnel in Hong Kong.
Points to Make
Very concerned about exodus of talent from Hong Kong. Our nationality package is designed to stem this outflow.
- Impact of our nationality package would be greatly enhanced if other countries followed our lead and took similar measures.
Denmark could help perhaps by offering some form of guaranteed residency to employees in Hong Kong of Danish companies.
-
International community as a whole has stake in Hong Kong's continued prosperity and stability. Hope Denmark will help in any way it can to bolster confidence there.
