MINISTRY LAUNCHES FIRST GOVERNMENT PRO AWARENESS WORKSHOP
www.minfo.gov.to/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=719:ministry
NUKU'ALOFA (TMinfo Online/Pacific Media Watch): The Government of Tonga's newly established Ministry of Information and Communications under its new Minister, the Hon. 'Eseta Fusitu'a, held a small display exhibition at the FWC Moulton Hall, Vaha'akolo Road on the 26 May 2009 to launch the first Government Public Relations Officers (PRO) workshop.
The purpose of this was to create awareness of the ministry's core role and functions as well as cultivating networks and relationship with key stakeholders from the Government as promoted by the theme of the workshop, "Networking in the collection and dissemination of government Information".
The Ministry of Information was setup in November 2007 as the government's major information agency providing the link between the government, the media and the public.
Its main role is to consolidate all information sources from government and disseminate on the website, www.minfo.gov.to where it publishes all official government news and information from the Government of Tonga.
In May 2009, it then combined with the Department of Communications to become one ministry.
The Minister for Information & Communications, Lady 'Eseta Fusitu'a, officially opened this one-day workshop which was attended by high level government officials which include the Tonga Defence Services and Police Force commanders, government ministeries directors and chief executive officers from various ministries.
There are now over 35 PROs from across the 16 government ministries who work together with the Ministry of Information in preparing press releases and government documents for dissemination and to the general public, as published on the Information website.
