Geoffrey Barnes, the Secretary for Security of the Horong government, told the press that he had discussed with Khoan the repatriation of the second batch of Vietnamese boat people. Barnes said that Vu Khoan also hoped that this time, the repatriation action would be carried out as soon as possible and agreed that a larger number of boat people should be repatriated this time.
The international community will wait and see whether the Vietnamese authorities really are sincere or not.
