Viet Nam helps Cuba improve law making and enforcement capacity

It marks the first institutional technical assistance project that Viet Nam has ever offered to another country.

The agreement was inked by Minister of Justice Nguyen Hai Ninh and his Cuban counterpart Oscar Manuel Silveira Martínez on the occasion of the Vietnamese official's visit to Cuba from August 11-13.

The assistance includes sharing Viet Nam's experience in legal reform, supporting digital transformation in the judicial sector, and providing 200 modern computers for the Cuban Ministry of Justice.

Both ministers agreed that this agreement will significantly enhance the ministry's capacity to carry out its functions and improve the quality of services.

Bilateral legal cooperation has been established since the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation in 2013, with six cooperation programs and eight high-level exchange delegations.

Since then, the two sides have signed numerous agreements to promote specialized training, exchange experiences in registration and notarization work, digitize services, study legislative drafting techniques, and share professional materials.

In particular, cooperation has been further strengthened following the visit to Cuba by General Secretary and President To Lam in September 2024, reaffirming the determination to advance bilateral cooperation beyond all challenges.

On August 11, Nguyen paid a courtesy visit to First Secretary of the Communist Party of Cuba (CPC) Central Committee and President of Cuba Miguel Díaz-Canel.

The Cuban leader noted that the visit created an opportunity for the Ministries of Justice of the two countries to exchange experiences in the processes of developing legal norms.

He spoke highly of Viet Nam's initiative for legal technical assistance for Cuba./.
