VIETNAMESE REFUGEES.
JEAFFRESON WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO DISCUSS THE NEXT STEP WITH HONG KONG DEPARTMENT WHILE HE IS IN LONDON ON 8 JULY.
2. FOR THIS DISCUSSION IT WOULD BE USEFUL TO HAVE VIEWS FROM HMA HANOI ON ANY RECENT CHANGES IN ATTITUDE BY THE VIETNAMESE GOVERNMENT OR LIKELY DEVELOPMENTS IN THE FUTURE THAT MIGHT GIVE US A POINTER ON THE DIRECTION WE SHOULD NOW TAKE. 3. WITH 13,300 REFUGEES NOW IN CENTRES IN HONG KONG (COMPARED WITH 9,800 IN MARCH LAST YEAR), THE WHOLE ISSUE OF VIETNAMESE REFUGEES IS ASSUMING A GREATER SIGNIFICANCE AS FAR AS WE ARE CONCERNED.
