Viet Nam, South Korea sign Letter of intent for law cooperation

The document was signed by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Justice Le Thanh Long and Korean Minister of Government Legislation LEE Wan-kyu in Ha Noi on Tuesday.

During their meeting the same day, Deputy Prime Minister Long appreciated the effective implementation of the 2012 MoU on cooperation between the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice and the Korean Ministry of Government Legislation.

He suggested that the two ministries further increase specific cooperative activities such as law popularization in flexible forms, and coordinate and support each other in international organisations and at multilateral forums on legal matters.

Minister Lee expressed consensus with the proposals of the host, and pledged to promote cooperative activities to ensure the rights and interests of citizens of the two countries as well as meet the expectations of their leaders.

Earlier, the Korean Government provided US$10 million for a US$10.2 project which has been deployed between 2019 and 2022 to help enhance the transparency and quality of adjudication for Vietnamese courts.

The overall objective of the above project is to provide the social foundation for the sustainable growth of Viet Nam by establishing a transparent and accountable trial system./.
