Director-General for Secretariat’s Policy Matters National Personnel Authority, JapanYonemura TakeshiOn Wednesday, September 27, 2023, the National Personnel Authority (NPA) of Japan hosted an international symposium titled “The Future of Civil Service” in Tokyo. This symposium gathered senior officials engaged in national public service personnel management from 13 countries, including ASEAN Member States, the People’s Republic of China, the Republic of Korea, and Australia. The event provided a platform to discuss the challenges confronted by the national public service in each nation, strategies to address these challenges, and the vision each country holds for the future of their national public service.This commemorative booklet is a compilation of papers contributed by researchers from ASEAN Member States and Japan, who were asked to write academic papers on the national public service personnel management system of the relevant country, discussing the history of the system, the issues to be addressed in the future, and the approach to solving them, in order to embody tangible results of the international symposium and make them widely used.The NPA has been conducting surveys on the national public service systems of other countries, but this is the first time that it has compiled a comprehensive digest of the national public service systems in ASEAN Member States. The booklet provides a wealth of descriptions of the historical and cultural backgrounds of each country’s system, which not only allows the reader to deepen their understanding of the national public service system in each country, but also provides a variety of problem-solving approaches that can be used as a reference for many countries.The NPA has also established the Advisory Council on Personnel Administration, and is working firsthand on a grand design for the ideal image of public servants, codes of conduct, and human resource management in order to realize a world of public service befitting the new era. The final report is scheduled to be submitted by the end of 2024, and we hope to share the results with the ASEAN Member States.The NPA is committed to actively collaborating with ACCSM+3 Countries to advance their personnel administration initiatives. Furthermore, we plan to leverage the outcomes of this symposium for workshops and further exchanges.In closing, I extend my sincere gratitude to the dedicated researchers from ASEAN Member States and Japan who have written valuable papers for this booklet.3FOREWORD
