The Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs shall preside over and coordinate with the Ministry of Justice, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Education and Training, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Ministry of Public Security to review and research to reach a consensus on the final settlement of contracts, agreements, and commitments with international partners, and to prevent international complaints from occurring.

* Pursuant to Decision No. 371/QD-TTg dated February 28, 2013 of the Prime Minister on approving the Project "Transferring of curriculum sets; training and fostering of teachers and vocational training managers; pilot training of key occupations at the ASEAN and international levels", the Ministry of Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs coordinated with relevant ministries and branches to pilot training of 22 key occupations at the international level transferred from Germany at 45 colleges in 22 localities nationwide.
However, recently, many students attending training courses in some localities have been upset because they have completed their program but have not been able to take their graduation exams.
