Out of the 41 diplomat candidates that the Ministry of Personnel Management (MOPM) selected on Sept. 29, five people were from HUFS.

Among the three categories that included general diplomacy, regional diplomacy, and economic and multilateral diplomacy, three people were assigned to general diplomacy and the rest to regional diplomacy and economic and multilateral diplomacy respectively.

This is the fourth diplomat candidate test ever conducted since the diplomatic examination was abolished. The selected candidates will complete a one-year course at the Korea National Diplomatic Academy, and be employed as public officials.
