YOUR TELNOS 2515 AND 2516: VIETNAMESE REFUGEES
1.
THANK YOU FOR THE USEFUL REPORT IN TURS. ON PARA 6 OF
FIRST TUR, WE AGREE THAT WE SHALL IN DUE COURSE NEED TO CLARIFY
WITH THE MAIN RESETTLEMENT COUNTRIES HOW THEY NOW VIEW BOTH THE
VIETNAMESE REFUGEE PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE OPTIONS FOR ITS SOLUTION.
THIS IS AS YOU SAY PART OF THE MULTILATERAL STRATEGY WHICH
MINISTERS HAVE NOW AGREED IN PRINCIPLE (PARA 1(B) OF OUR TELNO
1464 NOW BEING REPEATED TO CANBERRA).
2.
BUT WE CANNOT AT THIS STAGE INSTRUCT CANBERRA TO SOUND
OUT THE AUSTRALIANS IN THE TERMS WHICH YOU SUGGEST. WE ARE ABOUT
TO CONSULT UKMIS GENEVA (COPYING TO YOU) ON THE OUTLINE OF A
STRATEGY FOR INITIATING DISCUSSIONS ON THE PROBLEM WITH THE MAIN
RESETTLEMENT COUNTRIES AND UNHCR. WE SHALL THEN PREPARE A
DETAILED SUBMISSION ON
STRATEGY, TO CONSIDERED BY MINISTERS WITHIN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO. WE SHALL KEEP IN CLOSE TOUCH WITH YOU AS OUR THINKING ON
STRATEGY DEVELOPS.
YOUNG.
