Recalling 40 years of reform and opening-up, overseas training is an important part of China’s opening to the outside world. As an important way to introduce foreign intelligence, it has cultivated a large number of urgently needed talents for China and played an irreplaceable role in promoting China's economic and social development.

In the 21st century, the SAFEA expanded overseas high-level training institutions, and cooperated with Duke University to implement the Special Training Program for Young Talents of Government, and trained more than 400 young middle-level government leaders. In cooperation with the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, the SAFEA cultivated nearly 200 government and senior executives in financial fields and implemented talent training programs with the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee and the Ministry of Education, sending nearly 500 senior government leaders to University of Oxford, Stanford University and other world-class universities for training.

In terms of professional personnel training, the National Audit Office sent auditing professionals for overseas training, and promoted performance auditing.
