VIETNAMESE REFUGEES : LEONARD RAYNER
RAYNER, HONORARY REGIONAL ADVISER TO THE CBI, SPEAKING ON RADIO THIS MORNING (12/1) SUGGESTED THAT HONG KONG BUSINESSMAN MIGHT ESTABLISH JOINT VENTURE ENTERPRISES IN VIETNAM AND RECRUIT REFUGEES FROM THE CAMPS IN HONG KONG TO RETURN TO VIETNAM TO WORK IN THEM.
2. WE HAVE NOT (NOT) SO FAR BEEN ASKED TO RESPOND TO THIS IDEA, BUT WE WOULD PROPOSE TO SAY THAT IT WOULD BE FOR INDIVIDUAL ENTREPRENEURS TO PURSUE SUCH SCHEMES WITH THE VIETNAMESE AUTHORITIES IN THE FIRST INSTANCE. AS FAR AS THE RETURN OF REFUGEES TO VIETNAM FOR EMPLOYMENT IS CONCERNED, WE WOULD HAVE NO (NO) OBJECTION PROVIDED THIS WAS WHAT THE REFUGEES THEMSELVES WISHED TO DO.
