The two personalities who agreed to increase this cooperation also spoke about the role and organization of ENA for the training of executives and their working conditions, while wishing its expansion in terms of continuing training.
They also expressed the wish to see ENA be provided with a functional tool in order to improve the reception relations of the Enarchs in the various ministries.
