Plan to implement Viet Nam-Thailand mutual judicial assistance agreement issued
VGP - Deputy Prime Minister Bui Thanh Son has signed a decision approving a plan to implement the Agreement on Mutual Judicial assistance in the civil matters between Viet Nam and Thailand.
Five major tasks defined in the plan include notifying the Thai side of information about the Vietnamese contact person; enhancing communications on the agreement; mplementing mutual legal assistance activities; exchanging information between central judicial agencies of the two sides; and evaluating the agreement's implementation.
The Agreement was approved by the Vietnamese President in May last year, which is expected to create a legal basis for the requests for judicial assistance in civil matters and the timely provision of help for settling civil disputes.
Thereby, it guarantees the rights and legitimate interests of individuals and organizations in the two countries and enhances civil, trade, and economic relations to contribute to socio-economic development in Viet Nam and Thailand along with their traditional friendship.
It aims to help implement the Party and State's policy on strengthening cooperation with international partners in legal and judicial matters.
The Agreement will also help perfect the legal mechanism for protecting the rights and legitimate interests of Vietnamese citizens and entities abroad, including the 13th Party Central Committee's Resolution No 27-NQ/TW, dated November 9, 2022, on the continuation of building and perfecting the law-governed socialist State of Viet Nam in the new period./.
