New exec training programme for Vietnamese officials launched

New exec training programme for Vietnamese officials launched



The Nanyang Technological University (NTU) and Temasek Foundation, in collaboration with Vietnam's Monitoring Office of Programme 165 (MOP165), will launch a new training programme for senior Vietnamese officials this month.

The new programme is an expansion of the two countries' existing collaboration on executive training programme, and is targeted at Vietnamese government officials as well as the country's leaders of key government agencies and organisations.

The specialised programme will be funded with a grant of S$600,000 from Singapore's Temasek Foundation and co-funding of S$475,000 by the government of Vietnam.

A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed on Thursday in Hanoi by the dean of NTU's College of Humanities, Arts & Social Sciences, Professor Alan Chan, and the head of MOP165, Vietnam's Central Committee of Organisation and Personnel, Dr Nguyen Van Du.

MOP165 is the leading national-level institution in Vietnam that is responsible for the training of government leaders and senior officials, focusing on political science and governance issues.

The first batch of participants will include leaders from the Vietnam Women's Union.

The 25 female officials will be in Singapore from 25 August for the two-week training programme focusing on leadership and public policy conducted by NTU's Nanyang Centre for Public Administration.

Singapore and Vietnam celebrate 40 years of diplomatic ties this year.
