Jakarta (MidLand) – Secretary General of the Ministry of Communications and Informatics (Sekjen Kemenkominfo) Mira Tayyiba said that human resources (HR) in government public relations need to regularly sharpen their skills to strengthen the government’s strategic communications.
One thing that can be done to sharpen these skills is through workshops to understand communication frameworks and strategies in dealing with the technological revolution.
“Holding workshops will broaden horizons and deepen understanding of the role of communication strategies in responding to various future challenges. “I am sure that this seminar has enriched our knowledge and skills as government officials responsible for conveying news related to government policies and regulations,” Mira said in the official statement received on Friday.

Mira also conveyed this statement to government-level public relations human resources at a collaborative workshop between the Ministry of Communication and Information and the British Government Communications Service International (GCSI) on Thursday (7/3).

He hopes that cooperation between Indonesia and the UK will further increase in the future.
