AMC President Tran Huu Ha said that the training course, which applies WB models with positive teaching methods, will promote planning and construction investment management among urban managers.
Meanwhile, WB Country Director for Vietnam Victoria Kwakwa pledged to support Vietnamese urban areas through sharing experience learnt from other advanced urban areas in the world.
According to Deputy Minister of Construction Do Duc Duy, urban areas, which contribute 70 percent to the State budget, have affirmed their position in promoting the labour and economic transfers in localities and regions nationwide.
He said that human resources are a key factor in boosting sustainable urban development in addition to regulatory and mechanism improvements, given that urban systems in Vietnam are developing well in terms of scale, but lack comprehensive social and technical infrastructure.-VNA
