VNExpress-July 29

The Vietnam Chamber of Commerce and Industry has launched a leadership development program to build a new generation of internationally competitive CEOs in the country. The program, called CEO Vietnam The New Era, is designed to equip business leaders with internationally recognized management skills and prepare them for digital transformation, green transition and deeper integration into global value chains.

The initiative comes as Vietnam pursues faster economic growth and steps up efforts to develop business leadership in line with government priorities to expand the role of the private sector. At the launch ceremony, the chamber’s chairman Ho Sy Hung said Vietnamese businesses would need leaders with long-term vision, modern management capabilities and the ability to adapt to rapid technological and geopolitical changes. The chamber said it would mobilize support from its nationwide network, business associations, training partners, experts, international organizations and the broader business community to implement the program. Prof. Dr. Nguyen Thi Thanh Mai, president of Vietnam National University–Ho Chi Minh City, said the program also seeks to strengthen the cooperation among government, universities and businesses in education, research and knowledge transfer. The university partnered with A11 Management Consulting Vietnam, INSEAD Business School and other partners to develop a curriculum for a wide range of participants, from leaders of large corporations to executives of small and medium-sized enterprises, family businesses and startups. It will cover subjects including strategic leadership, corporate governance, digital transformation, finance, sustainability, ESG and international business development. Professor Sameer Hasija, Dean of Executive Education and Dean of the Asia Campus at INSEAD, said that as Vietnam continues its remarkable economic development, cultivating future-ready business leaders would be critical to sustaining growth and driving innovation.

EXTRICATING NDONESIAN CHILDREN FROM ISIS INFLUENCE ABROAD

Indonesia urgently needs to revisit the possibility of repatriating the neediest of its young citizens stranded abroad, whose families had earlier joined ISIS. Most of these children are in camps in northern Syria but there are also small numbers in the Philippines, Afghanistan and Iraq. “Extricating Indonesian Children from ISIS Influence Abroad”, the latest report from the Institute for Policy Analysis of Conflict (IPAC) argues that the government could begin by bringing back small groups of unaccompanied children under ten years of age, who pose minimal security risk and are most vulnerable to deteriorating conditions in the camps.“The problem is that health and security conditions are worsening by the day in the Syrian camps, and the children are growing older,” says Dyah Kartika, IPAC analyst. “They need access to schools, a nurturing environment, and medical attention. If the government waits too long, the children will be further exposed to ISIS ideology.” The new report examines a 2019 list of Indonesians in camps and prisons run by the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF). The Indonesian government has been trying to verify their citizenship, but with pseudonyms, misspellings and bad transliterations, it is a daunting task. At the time the data was collected, between March and June 2019, there were 555 Indonesians in SDF camps and prisons, including 367 children. Among the children, approximately 277 were under the age of ten and 34 were unaccompanied. In June 2021, there are fewer than ten children who are both unaccompanied and under the age of ten that could be prioritized for return. Bringing back children of ISIS families is no easy task. The report analyses the main challenges faced by the Indonesian government. These include definitional issues, bureaucratic competition, the difficulty of verifying nationality, evaluating the toll of exposure to conflict, assessing security risk, and finding relatives or others willing to provide care once the children are returned. In addition, COVID has meant stringent restrictions on travel, placing further obstacles in the way of repatriation. There are several models for rehabilitation of children exposed to violent extremism in Indonesia that could be modified to accommodate the needs of children repatriated from abroad. The report examines these models and argues that the government does not need to have every detail of rehabilitation programs in place before it starts extricating children from ISIS influence. It can start by bringing back the most vulnerable children and then modify programs as needed.

“It’s important that the government see these children as victims” says Dyah. “They deserve a chance to be children again.”
