【国会】维文称有外交部人员海外值勤确诊 惟全数已康复
据外交部长维文今日(1日)在国会坦言,驻扎海外的外交部官员疫情期间,致力协调和协助那些受困的国人,不过其中一些人员也不幸感染冠病19病毒,所幸较后都已全数康复。
不过,维文称有鉴于隐私和运营因素,他无法向议员揭露确诊冠病外交官员的确切数字。
维文称,外交部仍有超过300名官员,仍在海外执勤,协助有需要的国人。其中有好些已经一年没返国见到家人。
去年新加坡外交部也展开最大规模的领事行动,安排超过4500名国人,从印度、埃及、沙特阿拉伯等地回家,例如在疫情初期从武汉遣返266人回国。
对于未有设立大使馆的地区,我国也运用外交关系,透过马来西亚、日本、法国、英国、以色列和台湾等地的协助下,把受困国人接回家。
与邻国马国方面,也成功协调并安排逾350名新加坡籍年长者、未成年者或残障人士,返国与家人团聚。
他表示,我国仍会继续与马国合作,逐步开放两国边境,让两国人民跨境流动。
