It has also collaborated with the Korean National Diplomatic Academy and the Korea Institute of Human Resources Development through research programmes and thematic exchanges for Vietnam’s strategically planned officials.

The head of the NIU delegation said that her delegation consists of trainees who are mid- to senior-level officials from government agencies and local authorities. The purpose of their visit is to study Vietnam’s administrative system, public policy, and the role of civil servants.

According to Nam, the delegation is interested in Vietnam’s civil servant training policies, public administration models. Through the visit, they also sought to explore Vietnam’s models for training political personnel and developing strategic and administrative policies, especially the establishment of systems that connect central and local governments, as well as one locality with the other to achieve common socio-economic development goals./.
