Hanoi (VNA) – The Party Central Committee’s Organisation Commission (PCCOC) in co-ordination with the Norwegian embassy opened a training course to improve capacity of ethnic minority female leaders in Hanoi on October 6. The course, part of the project on raising capacity of Vietnamese ethnic minority women officials funded by the Norwegian government, drew participation of more than 60 female leaders from 12 northern provinces. The trainees will be updated with knowledge on maintaining and promoting national identities in the process of globalisation and economic integration, gender mainstreaming in policy making and implementation, and promotion of grassroots democracy. The course will also provide trainees with knowledge on economic development combined with environmental protection in ethnic minority areas and an overview of national and local political and socio-economic situations. Addressing the opening ceremony, Norwegian ambassador to Vietnam Skjoll Storlokken said the course marked an important advance of the cooperation between the PCCOC and the Norwegian embassy to promote the execution of the project.-Enditem
