Hanoi (VNA) – The findings of a research project on high-quality human resources development, conducted by researchers from Vietnam and the Republic of Korea (RoK), were reviewed at a workshop in Hanoi on October 18.

Hosted by the Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics (HCMNAP) and the Korean International Cooperation Agency as part of the Development Experience Exchange Partnership programme for the vision of Vietnam , the event allowed policy makers and scientists of the two nations to share experience and information in the field.

In his speech, HCMNAP Director Nguyen Xuan Thang highlighted the decisive role played by high-quality workforces in promoting international integration and improving competitiveness of a country.

Vietnam needs to develop policies on human resources, especially those with high quality, to realise national development targets, he said.

Starting from late last year, the project looked to create policies on high-quality human resources development suitable to Vietnam through applying the experience of the RoK.

The project focused on studies concerning high-quality human resources for sustainable growth and development and training high-quality personnel for the Government and State-owned enterprises.

The study’s findings are expected to contribute to training high-quality human resources and building relevant policies in Vietnam, towards helping the country implement its 2010-2020 socio-economic development strategy.-VNA
