Subject: Official Information request - Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Vietnam veterans and their families

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

I noted,
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 (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.

Yours faithfully,

john luke
