DUSHANBE, October 29, 2011, Asia-Plus On October 24, 2011, Ambassador Ken Gross opened the U.S. Embassy sponsored Public and Media Relations Course for Public and Media Relations Specialists from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the State Committee on National Security, the Drug Control Agency, the Prosecutor General's Office, the Supreme Court, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Agency on State Financial Control and Anti-Corruption, the Customs Service, the National Bank of Tajikistan, National Guards and the Ministry of Defense, the U.S. Embassy in Dushanbe reported.
The participants had an opportunity to meet with media representatives on the first day of the interactive training course to discuss the challenges they face while working with one another. Three highly experienced Supervisory Special Agent FBI instructors assigned to the FBI's Office of Public Affairs, National Press Office in Washington, D.C., taught the course.
At the opening ceremony, Ambassador Gross remarked, "The U.S. Embassy is committed to assisting you in your important role as government spokespersons, in your efforts to provide fair and balanced access to your media counterparts."
The U.S. Embassy's Office of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs organized and funded the one-week course. The course helped public and media affairs experts in the Government of Tajikistan develop skills to better deliver news and information to mass media and the public. The training course involved practical scenarios and role play activities including news conferences, use of social media, on camera critiques, "ambush" interviews, and other "live" scenarios. Ambassador Gross also played the role of U.S. Ambassador in a role play scenario, where he delivered news to government spokespeople.
The United States Government is committed to continuing its support for Tajik law enforcement agencies. Since 1992, the U.S. Government has provided more than $900 million in assistance programs that support the law enforcement and security systems, economic growth, democratic institutions, health care and education of Tajikistan.
