-GISTRY

Whether we should now take action to start a programme

of NGO assistance in Vietnam without pre-conditions on an

agreement for the return of the boat people.

Recommendation

2.

I recommend that exploratory discussions should be held with the Vietnamese and the NGOs with a view to starting

such a programme in the near future.

Timing

A decision is needed before Mr Maude ́s visit to Vietnam

in February.
