Jakarta, July 19 -- At least 2,261 Indonesians seeking to work in South Korea's fisheries sector under a government-to-government (G-to-G) scheme sat for a skills test in Semarang, Central Java, on Saturday.

"We encouraged them to prepare themselves as well as possible because there will be a direct interview test by a team from Korea and tests related to the work they will do," Deputy Minister for the Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers (P2MI), Christina Aryani, said.

The test-takers were selected from more than 10,528 job seekers registered in the ministry's Computerized System for Services and Protection of Indonesian Migrant Workers ( Siskop2MI ), she informed in a press statement after reviewing the test in Semarang.
