He noted as the one who founded, led, and trained the CPV, late President Ho Chi Minh always affirmed that personnel and personnel affairs form a critically pivotal and urgent issue that affects everything, and that personnel are the roots of all jobs, so training personnel is the root work of the Party.

The two schools have worked together for more than 30 years, since 1993, with a wide range of activities. Their cooperation has obtained many outstanding results, directly helping the Vietnamese academy improve its research and teaching capacity, and also reform its training framework and methodology along with policy research and consulting. That has helped enrich the theoretical achievements of the two Parties and contribute to the enhancement of bilateral cooperation, the Vietnamese leader added.
Lam briefed the participants on major tasks of the Vietnamese Party in the time ahead, including preparations for the 14th National Party Congress.
