PUTRAJAYA (Bernama): Foreign Ministry officers are encouraged to enhance their expertise and knowledge through study programmes at higher levels, said Foreign Minister Datuk Saifuddin Abdullah (pic).

He added that the ministry's officers were always encouraged to pursue higher studies, namely Masters or Doctor of Philosophy , either locally or abroad, in specific fields related to the ministry. Apart from that, he said they were also encouraged to join immersion programmes or take short courses at reputable universities.
"If we can, we want as many as possible, but this depends on the funds; and for government officials, usually from the Public Service Department ; and we are very grateful that our application for this programme can be implemented," he told reporters at the Outstanding Service Awards Ceremony 2020 and Jasamu Dikenang at Wisma Putra, here, on Friday .
