[Asia Economy Reporter Kwangho Lee] The Financial Services Commission's Financial Intelligence Unit, the Financial Supervisory Service, and the Korea Institute of Finance announced that they will conduct anti-money laundering training for the State Bank of Vietnam and financial companies from the 9th to the 22nd in commemoration of the 30th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Korea and Vietnam.

This training was conducted at the request of the State Bank of Vietnam, which is promoting the strengthening of its own anti-money laundering capabilities. Vietnam expects to enhance understanding of anti-money laundering and strengthen supervisory capabilities through sharing Korea's institutional operation experience.

The Financial Supervisory Service and others prepared a training course consisting of 10 sessions totaling 30 hours, reflecting 20 years of experience in operating anti-money laundering systems, inspecting and supervising financial companies, and educating financial companies.

The training course is expected to be completed by about 150 personnel from the State Bank of Vietnam's Anti-Money Laundering Department, financial companies, and law enforcement agencies such as prosecutors, police, the Board of Audit and Inspection, and accounting auditors.

A financial authority official said, "Through this training, we plan to share Korea's achievements and experiences in the field of anti-money laundering with Vietnam and further expand cooperation between the two countries in the field of anti-money laundering in the future."
