Mr Jin Er Gang

People's Republic of China

  

Dear Mr Jin

 

I am writing about the Memorandum of Understanding of 25 January 1995 between the Department of Immigration and Ethnic Affairs (now the Department of Immigration and Multicultural Affairs and Indigenous Affairs) and the Ministry of Civil Affairs relating to unauthorised arrivals in Australia of Vietnamese refugees settled in the People’s Republic of China.

 

I note that the Memorandum of Understanding, established with regard to Vietnamese refugees settled in China who have arrived in Australia as unauthorised arrivals after 25 January 1995, continues to operate in the future.

 

Upon your confirmation of this, this exchange of letters replaces the previous exchange of letters of 18 and 19 February 2002, and together with the Memorandum of Understanding constitutes the agreement between our two countries on this subject.

 

Yours sincerely

  

Lydia Morton
