During the working session with the Belarusian President's Academy of Public Service, the delegates exchanged information about topics, goals, training, and fostering materials, among other things. They also confirmed that the two organizations share many tasks and functions and have a lot of room to work together. Since 2008, the two agencies have maintained a working arrangement. But in reality, the two agencies' collaboration has not been as successful as anticipated for a variety of reasons. Both sides agreed to review and finalize the agreement for effective implementation in practice. They highlighted particular types of collaboration, including information sharing, yearly delegation exchanges, scientific talks on subjects of shared interest (both in-person and online), seminars, etc. Nguyen Van Ngu, the ambassador of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam to Belarus, joined the delegation to work with the leaders of the Academy of Public Service under the President of Belarus.
