VIETNAMESE BOAT PEOPLE : REPATRIATION
1 -
-
UNHCR (HK) HAVE BEEN INFORMED TODAY BY THEIR HANOI OFFICE THAT
A VIETNAMESE TEAM OF OFFICIALS PLAN TO LEAVE HANOI FOR HONG KONG
ON 3 APRIL. IF THIS IS TRUE IT WILL PRESENT BOTH UNHCR AND OURSELVES WITH DIFFICULTIES. WE CAN COPE AND OF COURSE WE WOULD NOT WANT TO DELAY THE REPATRIATION ARRANGEMENTS. HOWEVER THERE IS A
. GREAT DEAL OF WORK TO BE DONE IN PREPARATION FOR SUCH A VISIT,
WHICH WOULD OVERLAP WITH THE UNHCR SUB COMMITTEE MEETING SCHEDULED FOR 6-8 APRIL. WE WOULD BE GRATEFUL FOR ADVICE ON WHETHER THIS INFORMATION IS CORRECT AND IF IT IS FOR DETAILS OF THE MEMBERSHIP OF THE VIETNAMESE TEAM AND THEIR TRAVEL PLANS. WE HAVE YET TO
RECEIVE THE LIST OF PEOPLE CLEARED FOR RETURN AND WE HOPE THAT THIS
COULD BE MADE AVAILABLE QUICKLY. IDEALLY A POSTPONEMENT BY ONE
WEEK WOULD BE PREFERRABLE.
