Principal of Nguyen Chi Thanh Political School awarded certificates to Lao students who completed the course.

See Hue as hometown

Implementing the cooperation agreement between the Thua Thien Hue Provincial Party Committee (now the Hue City Party Committee) and the four south-central provinces of Laos: Savannakhet, Salavan, Sekong, Champasak (2023-2026 period), Nguyen Chi Thanh Political School identified the task of training political theory and fostering leadership and management skills for students from neighboring countries as an important task of great significance. From 2023 to present, the school has trained 4 south-central provinces of Laos in 2 classes of leadership and management skills (120 students), 1 intermediate class of political theory (50 students) and is preparing to open an intermediate class of political theory for 50 students.

Mr. Sengnavong KEOKHAMXE, Head of the Department of Agriculture and Forestry of Dak Chung District, SeKong Province (student of the 2nd/2025 leadership and management training course) shared: Although this is the first time I have come to Hue to study, with the love and dedication of the school's teaching staff, most of the students know a lot about the land and people here, so they consider Hue as their hometown. The class is arranged with an interpreter to help students easily understand the lectures in class. The school regularly organizes cultural and artistic activities, and field trips, so students have more opportunities to learn and understand more deeply the customs and practices of Vietnam and Hue City.

Mr. Sanmala KOUNPHIXIT, Deputy Director of the Security Department, SeKong Province (class monitor) said: “We are very excited to have received the school's attention in studying, practicing political theory and fostering leadership and management skills. The school creates favorable conditions for students in terms of accommodation, daily activities. In addition, we also have the opportunity to study economic and social development models and learn about historical and cultural relics in some localities of the ancient capital of Hue. Through that, we have gained a lot of useful knowledge to apply in practice for the development of Sekong Province”.

MSc. Ho Van Minh, Deputy Head of Training Management and Scientific Research Department (class leader) informed: In order to connect theory with practice, in the courses, the school organizes for students to conduct field research in and outside the province. At the same time, it focuses on quality and innovation in teaching methods, especially creating conditions for students to conduct their own research through translated lesson plans, thereby contributing to improving the quality of training. Students of the Lao class actively self-study and research, gradually shifting from passive learning to active learning, creatively applying theoretical knowledge to practical work.

Cultivating special relationships

Mr. Tran Nhat, Vice Principal of Nguyen Chi Thanh Political School, said: The school always receives great attention and support from the City Party Committee and People's Committee. In addition to arranging for city leaders to directly teach classes, the arrangement of funding for teaching, learning and living activities of Lao students is also focused on. The school always provides the best conditions in terms of facilities and spirit to accompany and support Lao students in improving their qualifications and skills in developing theoretical thinking, especially developing leadership and management skills. Students of all classes always complete the course with the highest results. After each course, students effectively apply the knowledge they have learned to solve practical problems arising in their work.

At the recent closing ceremony, Mr. Pham Duc Tien, Standing Deputy Secretary of the City Party Committee, affirmed: Under the leadership of the two Parties and two States, the solidarity, friendship and special cooperation between Vietnam and Laos in general, and Hue City and the provinces of south-central Laos in particular, have been constantly consolidated and strengthened, increasingly deepening and becoming more substantial. Exchange activities, learning experiences, organizing talks, signing cooperation agreements and especially in the fields of education, training and human resource development are maintained regularly. The knowledge and practical experience gained during the process of studying, researching and surveying in Hue will create conditions for students of Laos to supplement their knowledge, practice problem-solving skills, improve the efficiency and quality of work, contribute to the reform of the administrative system and consolidate and build Laos.

Consul General of the Lao PDR in Da Nang City Souphanh HADAOHEUANG informed: In the context of Laos and Vietnam promoting the process of innovation and international integration in a profound way, it has been and is posing a challenge for leaders and managers at all levels to further improve their professional qualifications, skills, and theoretical knowledge to meet the requirements of tasks in the new situation. From these classes, many cadres have been trained with strong political will, good management capacity, creativity, and daring to think and act. The majority of the trainees, after being trained and fostered in Hue, have returned to their homeland and have promoted their intelligence and courage in performing their professional tasks. Many of them are currently holding important positions as leaders of departments, branches, and sectors in the provinces of south-central Laos.
