Good afternoon John, 
 
I refer to your email of 2 March 2024, to the Department of the Prime
Minister and Cabinet, requesting the following information:
 
I noted, [1]https://nzhistory.govt.nz/war/vietnam-war In 2006, the New
Zealand government signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Vietnam
veterans and their families. The MoU included a trust to support veterans’
children, a national reunion and official ‘welcome home’ parade named
Tribute 08, and a formal apology for successive governments’ failure to
address veterans’ concerns. The agreement also included an oral history
project and the creation of a digital archive ([2]www.vietnamwar.govt.nz)
for Vietnam veterans and their families. Oral historians recorded more
than 150 interviews between 2008 and 2012, and the digital archive
continues to collect memories and memorabilia related to New Zealand’s
Vietnam War.
 
May I kindly request a full copy of the signed Memorandum of Understanding
(MoU) with Vietnam veterans and their families mentioned here within.
 
Your request was transferred to the New Zealand Defence Force in
accordance with section 14(b)(i) of the Official Information Act (OIA).
 
The Memorandum of Understanding you have requested is publicly available
and can be found by following the link:
[3]https://www.veteransaffairs.mil.nz/about...
 
You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to ask an Ombudsman to
review this response to your request. Information about how to make a
complaint is available at [4]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800
802 602.
