Cunha said that from now to 2020, the ILO will provide technical assistance to Vietnam and send experts to the country to assess its capacity and design a complete project.

After that, the ILO will give assessments and specific data for the building of a finance evaluation model in the future, he said.

The official added that the ILO will connect VSS training centres with those around the world, while inviting VSS officials to join ILO training courses.

Simon Brimblecombe, an ILO financial assessment expert, noted that the VSS is facing difficulties in providing technical and professional training courses, therefore the ILO will help the VSS in human resources training.

Highly valuing the cooperation and proposal of the ILO, VSS Deputy General Anh expressed his hope that in the future, the ILO will continue assisting the VSS in building a financial assessment model managed and operated by the VSS.

At the same time, the VSS is in need of the ILO’s support in human resources training in a sustainable and balanced manner, he added.
