Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thanh Nam discusses the economic development situation, foreign investment and cooperation in Vietnam
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Bui Thanh Nam, Vietnam's economy is a dynamic economy, developing according to the industrialization model. Vietnam is committed to maintaining peace and stability in the region and internationally, avoiding factors that could lead to conflict. Vietnam has signed agreements to build strategic partnerships with a total of 18 countries, of which 6 countries have been upgraded to comprehensive strategic partners. Accordingly, Vietnam has successfully negotiated and signed many Free Trade Agreements (FTAs) with bilateral and multilateral trade partners, of which 16 FTAs have been signed and implemented.
Vietnam emphasizes training and developing high-quality human resources, which is an important factor in the current context when the country is deeply integrated into the world economy. Accordingly, the development of infrastructure in the past 5 years, especially the successful construction of the expressway system with a total length doubled before, helps speed up traffic through provinces and cities, save vehicle operating costs and enhance national economic development.
Dr. Trinh Ngoc Thach emphasized: Vietnam considers human resources as national resources.
Discussing the directions of talent training in Vietnam, Dr. Trinh Ngoc Thach said that Vietnam has talent training projects divided into two branches: Science and Technology Talents and Management Science Talents. In which, VNU has successfully developed talent training programs and high-quality programs, aiming to train high-quality human resources for central ministries and branches.
In the current period, there is a need for reform in the remuneration system, arranging jobs for human resources in accordance with expertise and capacity. Accordingly, identifying talents and locating people who can train talents also need to be promoted, setting necessary criteria and standards, thereby optimizing the abundant and potential human resources of the country.
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Dao Thanh Truong affirmed: IPAM will be a modeltypical think tank in the field of policy and management.
According to Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Thanh Truong, the Institute of Policy and Management (IPAM) under the University of Social Sciences and Humanities continues to be recognized as a Key Research Center at the Vietnam National University, Hanoi. Established in 1991, IPAM is a combination of training and research subsystems, and will be a typical Think tank model in the field of policy and management. The Institute strives to become a key national research and training center on policy and management. In February 2021, the Institute of Policy and Management was honored in the Top 2020 Social Policy Think Tanks and Top 2020 Best New Think Tanks of the Think Tanks and Civil Societies Program (TTCSP) - University of Pennsylvania - USA.
In the coming time, the Institute of Policy and Management will continue to implement the strategy of developing strong research groups and Taskforce groups in implementing project topics as a foundation to expand the field of operation; focusing on enhancing the international integration capacity of local human resources.
