Meet Oscar Lam, a recent Counselling and Psychology graduate who completed a two-month internship at the Hong Kong Economic and Trade Office (HKETO) in Jakarta this summer. He shared his exciting and rewarding experience, and how the internship has shaped his career aspirations.

“I contributed to promoting Hong Kong's image in Indonesia through various duties ranging from monitoring media sentiments and preparing news summaries to ideating social media content, managing cultural events, and translating speeches

The most rewarding part was seeing the impact of our efforts in strengthening Hong Kong-Indonesia relations. A highlight was developing the social media content for a campaign promoting Hong Kong as an innovation hub—my write-ups sparked meaningful online discussions.

This internship has inspired me to pursue a career in international relations and public relations, reinforcing my passion for storytelling and cultural exchange. I'm grateful for the mentorship and personal growth I experienced. I’ve emerged more confident and globally minded.

Overall, my time at HKETO Jakarta offered valuable insights into how the government sector operates and forges partnerships, and gave me a real-world perspective on public diplomacy.”
