Politics Academy hopes for more Russian assistance
(VOV) - The Ho Chi Minh National Academy of Politics and Public Administration (NAPA) wants to strengthen cooperation with Russia’s institutions to serve national development.
NAPA Director Ta Ngoc Tan expressed his desire during a working session with the visiting Chairwoman of the Russian Federation Council, Valentina Ivanovna Matviyenko, in Hanoi on November 14.
He noted that hundreds of NAPA staff who received training at Russian scientific centres and universities have since become outstanding lecturers and managers.
He thanked Russia for its valuable assistance in training Vietnamese officials and briefed his guest on the Academy’s operation. He said that NAPA is a national centre to train leaders and managers, and further research in the fields of Marxist-Leninism theory, Ho Chi Minh thought, as well as to study the Party guidelines and State policies.
For her part, Valentina noted that NAPA helped the St Petersburg State University build the Ho Chi Minh Academy – the first overseas national education and science centre in the world dedicated to researching Vietnam’s history and culture. It is a typical example that demonstrates the special and trusted ties between Russia and Vietnam, she said.
She also expressed hope that the Ho Chi Minh Academy will play an important role in promoting further exchange and cooperation between universities from the two countries.
She said she was very pleased that many Vietnamese graduates from Russian universities now hold important positions of expertise.
Valentina then emphasised that Vietnam leads the world with the highest number of nationals trained in Russia. In addition, more than 6,000 Vietnamese are currently studying in Russia.
The two countries should expand cooperation in education to meet the increasing demand for high qualified human resources, Valentina said, adding that Russia will increase efforts to contribute to Vietnam’s development across all fields.
