MFA CONFIRM THAT DIRECTOR CONSULAR AFFAIRS, BIANCULLI, PLUS ONE OTHER OFFICIAL, WILL ARRIVE HONG KONG ON 27 AUGUST. THEY WILL REVIEW LISTS PRESELECTED BY ICEM/UNHCR, AND CONSULT WITH HONG KONG AUTHORITIES.
2.
THEREAFTER, THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY. BIANCULLI IS TO LINK
UP IN BANGKOK WITH ASCONA, ARGENTINE DIRECTOR FOR IMMIGRATION, AND TO RETURN WITH HIM TO HONG KONG ON OR ABOUT 9 SEPTEMBER. TECHNICALLY ASCONA WILL GIVE FINAL APPROVAL TO SELECTIONS, BUT THIS
APPEARS TO BE ONLY A FORMALITY. IT SHOULD THEREFORE BE POSSIBLE TO START CLEARANCE PROCEDURES AFTER BIANCULLI'S REVIEW OF ICEM/ UNHCR LISTS.
