Two Immigration Officers left for Singapore today (August 3) to take part in an attachment programme.
The two officers, Mr Fu Ho-wai and Mr Teddy Yeung Hong-lu, met the Assistant Director (Management and Support) of the Immigration Department, Mr Corrado Chow, before leaving to attend the two-week programme with the Singapore Immigration & Checkpoints Authority (ICA).
The objective of the programme is to provide participants with the opportunity to gain a better understanding of the work of other immigration authorities from which they can learn and also enhance their work quality.
In his briefing before the officersˇ¦ departure, Mr Chow said co-operation and communication between the department and the relevant overseas authorities were increasing.ˇ§The attachment programme is highly desirable to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and sharing of experience between our officers and worldwide counterparts,ˇ¨he said.
