REGISTRY Action Taken

WE WOULD WELCOME THE VIEWS OF WELLINGTON ON YOUR TUR. BUT WE STILL THINK THAT AN APPROACH TO THE NEW ZEALANDERS SHOULD AWAIT THE DEPARTURE OF THE 10, SO AS NOT (NOT) TO CONFUSE THE SITUATION.

2. WHAT HIS THE ATTITUDE IN NEW ZEALAND TOWARDS THE VIETNAMESE REFUGEES WHOM THEY HAVE ACCEPTED FOR RESETTLEMENT? ARE THEY SETTLING IN AND ADAPTING?

3. WE WOULD ALSO WELCOME THE REASONS WHY NEW ZEALAND TAKES MORE REFUGEES FROM OTHER COUNTRIES IN THE REGION (NOTICEABLY THAILAND).

4. WE ARE ATTEMPTING TO FIND OUT WHEN THE 10 REFUGEES WILL LEAVE

FOR NEW ZEALAND.
