On Tuesday, the Da Nang People's Committee Vice Chairman, Mr Phung Tan Viet, played host to a group from the Centre for Advanced Studies of the French Ministry of the Interior (or CHEMI for short), led by its Director, Mr Jean-Martin Jaspers.

Vice Chairman Viet highlighted the significance of the visit by the CHEMI delegation in promoting cooperative relations between France and Viet Nam, and Da Nang in particular.  He took the opportunity to ask CHEMI to provide an online training course for the city’s high-quality human resources, and to act as a bridge to help the city seek funds for its public-private partnership projects on environmental treatment and urban infrastructure.

Director Jean-Martin Jaspers said “CHEMI has a strength in training high-quality human resources.  The centre will soon provide training courses on human resource management and public policy evaluation for 25 government employees from Da Nang, and 5 more from other central-government cities and provinces.  In addition, great efforts will be made to coordinate with Viet Nam to offer high-quality online training courses for Vietnamese government employees in all aspects”.
