Sharing about the need for the bilateral collaboration, Assoc.

Examples include programs for the Commission for the Management of State Capital at Enterprises in France (scheduled for September 2024); training programs focused on logistics and seaports; and programs targeting female leaders and enhancing the capacity of the NAPA lecturers. NAPA also plans to organize international seminars, either in-person or online, with participation from experts from EM Normandie. Additionally, there is a focus on promoting and implementing undergraduate training programs in partnership with EM Normandie. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Quoc Suu also mentioned that NAPA intends to organize PSTI activities in October 2024, with participation from leaders of public service training institutes from various ASEAN countries, and he would like to invite EM Normandie to participate in the event.
Regarding the training program in France for the Commission for the Management of State Capital at Enterprises, NAPA expects that the training program will result in a change in the leadership mindset of corporations and enterprises. NAPA also hopes that EM Normandie will select a team of experts and lecturers who can meet the expected outcomes within a very condensed learning period. Assoc. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Quoc Suu suggested that the Department of International Cooperation should work closely with EM Normandie so that the experts understand the participants, objectives, and outcomes of the program, as well as the needs of the learners and the context of Viet Nam, to design an appropriate and effective training program.
