Hope the Netherlands Government will be able to respond

jable favourably to our request to take measures similar to our

will give key people in Hong Kong confidence to remain in the territory.

Aware of difficulties you face in granting citizenship or

permanent residency to people in Hong Kong without their having to

leave the territory but anything that you can do short of this would

still be useful.

Other countries are offering permanent residence to local

employees of their companies in Hong Kong, without their having to

leave the territory.

Alternatively would the Netherlands Government be willing to

consider a secondment scheme, permitting Dutch companies in Hong

Kong to send local employees for limited periods of work/training to

head offices in the Netherlands with time spend on this secondment

counting towards qualification for settlement status and eventual

citizenship.
