Vietnam studies Germany’s public management models

Berlin (VNA) – A delegation of the Ho Chi Minh National Political and Administrative Academy (NPA) paid a visit to Germany from November 12-18 to study its management structures and policies and to seek opportunities for cooperation.

The delegation, led by NPA Director Le Huu Nghia, visited Germany’s leading universities in the field of administrative management, namely the University of Potsdam (UoP) and the University of Administrative Sciences Speyer.

While meeting with the NPA delegation, the Director of UoP’s Potsdam Centre for Policy and Management (PCPM) , Werner Jann, proposed that the two sides cooperate in public management training, post-graduate and doctorate studies, the exchange of teachers and the organisation of short-term training courses.

UoP President Sabine Kunst said that her university has enjoyed established relations with Vietnamese partners for years, with their cooperation focusing on teacher training. She affirmed that UoP would relish establishing a long-term relationship with its Vietnamese partners in training and research activities.

NPA Director Nghia spoke highly of the proposals made by the German partners, saying that the NPA is going to send its officials to Germany to study state administration and management along with working with German partners in conducting scientific research, organising scientific seminars regarding issues of mutual concern and exchanging lecturing staff.-
