The representative of the Vietnam Institute of Leadership, Administration and Management committed that in the coming time, the Institute will continuously research and develop new knowledge; improve training quality, develop training programs with high applicability and close connection with practice.

Talking to the PTIT community in general and the Vietnam Institute of Leadership, Administration and Management in particular, Minister Nguyen Manh Hung hopes that teachers will always carry within themselves the spirit of the Party's founding day on February 3 to build and develop the Institute, which is: The spirit of pioneering, leading, leading and exploring; the spirit of liberation; the spirit of putting Vietnam on the world map to stand shoulder to shoulder with the great powers; the spirit of sacrifice for the common cause; the spirit of building a great career from scratch; the spirit of relying on the people, taking the people as the root.

Along with the demand for more use of digital technology in teaching, equipping leaders of Vietnamese enterprises and organizations with digital thinking, the head of the IT&T industry also hopes that the Institute will change its approach. Specifically, instead of focusing on teaching general knowledge as before, now when a business or organization has a problem with leadership, administration and management, they come to the Institute. The Institute must research to solve their problems and issues and then teach the business or organization about the research results along with general knowledge and specific knowledge of Vietnam.

“Teachers now have to do a new job, which is being a doctor. And this is also a new, unique approach, exclusive to the Institute. Only in this way can the “tree of life” stay green forever at the Vietnam Institute of Leadership, Administration and Management,” Minister Nguyen Manh Hung requested.

Leaders must be both idealistic and practical. According to Minister Nguyen Manh Hung, leaders must have ideals and big dreams to direct the organization towards noble goals; and must be practical and technical to act.
