Deputy Minister for Information U Aung Hla Tun attended the capacity building training 1/2020 held at the training hall of the Information and Public Relations Department in Nay Pyi Taw yesterday morning.

In his opening address, the Deputy Minister said: “This course is the first in the year 2020. Its aims and topics are good and will support the needs in today’s media. The responsibilities of the ministry are to inform, to disseminate the information, and to entertain the public. The most important among them is to inform the public. It is necessary to have a broader watch on current news and information in order to make quick and timely dissemination of correct information to the public. Training participants should diligently learn the topics relating to libraries and media information as well as departmental management.

When you are back to your respective workplaces you all should make better use of the lessons learned and share them among the co-staff, who are yet to attend the training, he urged.

The Information and Public Relations Department has been conducting the similar training courses to empower the staff to be competent in their implementation work of the Ministry.

Thirty-five township officers from states/regions will attend the training until 28 February. —MNA
