LOCAL IMMIGRATION OFFICERS TO GAIN EXPERIENCE IN BRITAIN
*****
TWO LOCAL IMMIGRATION OFFICERS WERE BRIEFED BY THE DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF IMMIGRATION, MR. A.J. CARTER, ON THE EVE OF THEIR DEPARTURE TO BRITAIN FOR TWO MONTHS WORKING ATTACHMENTS IN LONDON.
THEY WILL GAIN FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE IN U.K. DEPARTMENTS RESPONSIBLE FOR IMMIGRATION CONTROL, VISA, PASSPORT, NATURALIZATION AND DEPORTATION WORK.
THE IMMIGRATION OFFICERS ARE MR. MAKEEN YUSUF AND MRS. SHIN
YEUNG WAI-CHING.
MR. CARTER COMMENTED THAT ALTHOUGH THE DEPARTMENT HAD BEEN SENDING OFFICERS TO THE U.K. FOR TRAINING FOR MANY YEARS, THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THAT OFFICERS HAD BEEN SELECTED FOR WORKING ATTACHMENTS WITH THEIR OPPOSITE NUMBERS IN BRITAIN.
THE MOVE WOULD STRENGTHEN FURTHER THE EXISTING CLOSE LINKS BETWEEN THE IMMIGRATION AUTHORITIES IN BRITAIN AND HONG KONG, AND WOULD HELP THE CAREER DEVELOPMENT OF LOCAL OFFICERS, HE SAID.
