[edit] Vietnamese Refugees in South Korea

Up until shortly before diplomatic relations were restored in 1992 South Korea maintained a Vietnamese refugee camp on the south coast near Pusan. Vietnamese citizens picked up on the high seas by Korean flag vessels were taken to Korea and allowed refugee status and housing within the camp. As it became apparent that diplomatic relations were about to be re-established, the Koreans quickly hustled the Vietnamese out of Korea and disassembled the camp. By the time the former South Vietnamese Embassy in Seoul was handed over to the Socialist Republic of Vietnam there was no remaining trace of the refugees. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.79.62.27 (talk • contribs) 08:14, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
