In his opening speech for the training course, Dr. Tong Dang Hung, Vice Director of the Refresher Training Management Department, emphasized that the training of public officials has always been a concern of the Party and State of Viet Nam, with practical regulations and policies being issued. Implementing the functions and tasks assigned by the Government and the Prime Minister, over the past many years, NAPA has proactively organized many training courses for various ranks and leadership positions for ministries, central agencies, and localities. NAPA and Nhan Dan Newspaper organize the opening ceremony of the training course for public leaders and managers at the ministerial department level – Cohort 15 in 2024. This course is conducted according to the program issued by the Ministry of Home Affairs under Decision No. 426/QĐ-BNV dated June 2, 2022, and the training materials issued under Decision No. 3329/QĐ-HCQG dated August 24, 2022, by NAPA President. In addition to updating and supplementing knowledge and skills for ministerial department-level leaders and managers, this training program also contributes to standardizing this contingent of officials both before and after appointment. This is both an obligation and a right of the trainees. Therefore, trainees need to have a reasonable plan to arrange and allocate time to participate and ensure the successful completion of the course.
He also expressed his hope that the trainees would be proactive during the course to ensure high-quality and successful outcomes.
