The Ministry of Justice is responsible for coordinating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Supreme People's Court in popularizing the content of the aforesaid agreements, organizing training for staff in charge of judicial assistance at courts and civil judgement enforcement agencies.

The funding for the implementation of the plan comes from the state budget in accordance with the 2016 Law on International Treaties, the State Budget Law and other sources (if any).

Earlier, the agreement was signed by Vietnamese Minister of Justice Long and his Lao counterpart Phayvy Siboualypha under the witness of the two Prime Ministers in Vientiane, Laos, on January 11, 2023.
