Vietnam and Japan deepen ties in leadership training and innovation
Assoc. Prof. Dr. Đoàn Minh Huyến, newly elected to the Politburo and appointed Director of the Hồ Chí Minh National Academy of Politics (HCMA), met with JICA representative Kobayashi Yosuke in a recent working session. The meeting focused on strengthening cooperation in leadership training and key development areas between Vietnam and Japan.
During the session, Huyến proposed reforms in training models, advocating for a 'co-creation of knowledge' approach that blends theory with hands-on experience. He also called for deeper collaboration in developing Vietnam’s leadership and management talent, with a focus on innovation, urban governance, and digital transformation. Other priorities included green transition, climate change adaptation, and AI applications.
Kobayashi congratulated Huyến on his recent election and appointment, highlighting the long-standing partnership between JICA and HCMA since 2004. He noted with satisfaction that many alumni of Japan’s study and research programmes now occupy senior roles in Vietnam. The JICA representative also agreed with Huyến’s proposals and promised support for stronger ties between Japanese businesses and Vietnamese local leaders. Both sides reaffirmed their commitment to expanding cooperation in human resource development and addressing shared challenges through joint initiatives.
The meeting concluded with mutual agreement to enhance training programmes and foster closer links between Japanese enterprises and Vietnamese officials. Huyến’s proposed reforms and priority areas are expected to shape future collaboration, building on nearly two decades of partnership between HCMA and JICA.
