Sharing at the meeting, NHI Chairman Kim Chae-Hwan said that the main functions of NHI include building a team of excellent civil servants through general and specialized training programs. In addition, it supports training institutions in the public sector throughout Korea and strengthens cooperation and exchange activities with human resource development centers in the private sector.

Mr. Kim Chae-Hwan said that to achieve the goal of building an excellent civil servant team, it is necessary to have consistent and open policies, a good educational foundation and appropriate training programs, and the Korean Government has achieved this. In recent years, Korea has always ranked very high on the United Nations' index of reform, digital administration and digital transformation, with great contributions from the Korean civil servant team.

To achieve that result, NHI builds training programs such as: civil servant training by rank; leadership capacity development; specialized training programs; global capacity training; training programs for foreign civil servants; information technology training programs.

NHI also organizes online, in-person and blended training; training by rank and position of senior, middle and junior civil servants. According to statistics in 2023, 7 million civil servants participated in these training programs.

Mr. Kim Chae-Hwan hopes that in the coming time, NHI and the Ministry of Home Affairs of Vietnam in general and the National Academy of Public Administration of Vietnam in particular will continue to strengthen cooperation in training and fostering cadres, civil servants, and public employees and cooperate in research on issues of mutual interest.
