Foreign delegations and to accept them, observation stages. Ozoda Kenjayeva

2.2. Stages of observation of foreign delegations

• A first session of mid-career training was launched in October 2011. This course is aimed at staff with on average 15 years of service who take up, for the first time following a return to central administration, roles as Deputy Directors, Heads of Department or Head of Unit. It contributes to creating a pool of staff exercising upper management roles within the Ministry. The list of trainees is decided each year by the Human Resources Directorate, which informs the selected staff. This training course aims in particular to strengthen the managerial skills and leadership capacities of diplomats, as well as to deepen their knowledge on the priority areas of our international action (including economic diplomacy, soft diplomacy, security and defence, European affairs, and climate change).
