CLOSING DOWN OF HO CHI MINH CITY OFFICE

1. Thank you

for your letter of 21 May letting us know of the imminent closure of the Ho Chi Minh City Office. The saving represented by the dismissal of the residual staff will be extremely welcome!

2. We have consulted the FCO departments to whom you copied your letter as well as M & VD and HK & GD. Neither they nor we can see any problems with the closure.
