Immigration officer on US training
An officer of the Immigration Department will receive training in USA from January to May.
Acting Chief Immigration Officer, Mr Kwok Tze- yin, will spend four months in the study of administrative development at the University of California, Berkeley.
At a briefing before Mr Kwok's departure, the Director of Immigration, Mr Laurence Leung, said he attached great importance to officers of the department receiving overseas training.
"The courses are useful in upgrading the officers' personal and intellectual developments apart from enhancing their managerial concepts and skills.
"Furthermore, the courses would enable the officers to have a better understanding of the social and cultural background of people from different countries. They are beneficial to the officers in their daily course of duties," he said.
Mr Leung emphasised that the department fully recognised the long- term benefits that could be achieved through these overseas courses.
"Every effort would be made to provide officers with such opportunities," he said.
He urged Mr Kwok to make the best use of the opportunity to widen his horizon and to achieve self enrichment.
