Cooperation potential was discussed at HCMA President Nguyen Xuan Thang's meetings with French Ambassador Olivier Brochet and President of the Korea Foundation (KF) Kim Ghee-whan in Hanoi on September 25.
Thang, who is also a Politburo member and Chairman of the Central Theory Council, briefed the French and Korean sides on the academy’s operation, saying it always pays heed to international cooperation, especially knowledge sharing.
At the meeting with Brochet, the official said France is a leading partner of Vietnam in the European Union (EU), and that apart from trade, investment, and technology transfer, the two sides have stepped up collaboration in other fields like culture and education.
Thang stressed that Vietnam is pushing ahead with innovation to facilitate digital transformation, during which the country places importance on its ties with international partners, including France.
French agencies are important partners for the academy in strengthening cooperative relations and sharing knowledge on development governance, building an excellent public administration, and effectively managing the relationship between the Government and localities, he continued.
Brochet affirmed that France’s international perspectives are aligned with the values Vietnam is pursuing, saying his country has much to cooperate and share with Vietnam in the spheres of economy, training, and research.
The diplomat expressed his hope that more Vietnamese cadres will participate in public administration training programmes as well as those on climate change response in France.
He also highly valued the Southeast Asian nation's active role in the International Organisation of La Francophonie, and noted his hope that the two sides will work on French language training programmes for Vietnamese cadres at the upcoming Francophonie Summit.
Meeting Kim, the HCMA President said the academy maintains good relations with a number of Korean partners and wishes to continue its coordination with the KF in implementing exchange programmes to raise understanding between Vietnamese and Korean cadres.
The KF leader introduced his foundation's operation and pledged to make efforts to promote the relationship between Vietnam and the RoK.
