Mr Secretary General [Mr Chairman], the calling of this
conference, and the commitments which have been made of
increased resettlement and increased funding for UNHCR have
already brought great encouragement to those like myself who
have to cope directly with the problem of refugees from
Vietnam. So too has the mobilisation of world opinion which
you have brought to focus on this problem. I would like to
thank you for the enthusiasm and perseverance with which you and
the High Commissioner have worked to make this conference a
success.
But all these efforts will have been wasted unless what
has been said here during these past two days results in
practical measures. The human tragedy which still confronts
us all cannot and must not be shelved. Mr Secretary General
[Mr Chairman], we look to your wisdom and guidance to see us
through to the right solution to this awesome problem.
