Meanwhile, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has debunked a viral recruitment notice circulating online, describing it as fake.
The forged document, dated April 2025 and falsely attributed to the Honourable Minister of Foreign Affairs, claimed the government had begun recruitment into 109 diplomatic missions worldwide.
It directed applicants to send CVs and application letters via unofficial Gmail addresses.
The Ministry warned the public to disregard such notices, stressing that all authentic communication from the Ministry is made only through its official website and verified government platforms.
