Noting the progress achieved towards a solution of this issue by the various bilateral and multilateral meetings held between the parties concerned prior to the International Conference on Indo-Chinese Refugees,

Noting that the issues arising from the presence of Khmer refugees and displaced persons are being discussed, among the parties directly involved, within a different framework and as such have not been included in the deliberations of the Conference,

Noting with satisfaction the positive results of the Preparatory Meeting for the Conference, held in Kuala Lumpur from 7 to 9 March 1989,

Realizing that the complex problem at hand necessitates the co-operation and understanding of all concerned and that a comprehensive set of mutually re-enforcing humanitarian undertakings, which must be carried out in its totality rather than selectively, is the only realistic approach towards achieving a durable solution to the problem,

Acknowledging that such a solution must be developed in the context of national laws and regulations as well as of international standards,

Have solemnly resolved to adopt the attached Comprehensive Plan of

Action.
