Other issues

Know that you are particularly concerned about matter of Vietnamese boat people, escalation of problem this year.

Have

seen Chi Ma Wan closed camp and Green Island Reception centre.

Discussed with Governor and his advisers. Recognise that things cannot

go on as they are.

Look forward to hearing your views on this, and on Basic Law.

Conclusion

No wish to ignore or minimise current problems.

But believe Hong Kong's solid achievements in political,

economic and social fields provide sound basis for confidence in

future.

A mark of a competent and resourceful administration and of

the health and vigour of Hong Kong's institutions.

My particular thanks go to the Members of the Executive and Legislative councils for your valuable contribution.
