(KPL/VNA) The Supreme People's Court of Vietnam hosted the seventh conference of courts from provinces sharing borders with Vietnam, Cambodia and Laos in the central province of Quang Nam on July 18.
Chairing the event, Chief Justice of the Supreme People's Court Nguyen Hoa Binh highlighted the invaluable legacy of solidarity, friendship and political trust among the three countries, which holds long-term strategic significance in the cause of their national construction, defence and development.
Vietnam always attaches importance to and prioritises this relationship, considering it a strategic task and top priority in its foreign policy, he said, adding that the establishment and maintenance of the conference marks a significant milestone in judicial cooperation, elevating collaboration among the judicial systems of the three countries.
The conference focused discussions on reviewing the implementation of the joint communiqué issued at the sixth conference in 2022, sharing experiences in trying foreign-factored criminals and ongoing judicial reform in each country, and enhancing judicial cooperation among the three courts, with an emphasis on achievements in using modern technology for court operations.
It stressed the importance of international judicial cooperation and information exchange among border courts, and outlined solutions to addressing challenges in handling transnational criminal cases, judicial entrustment, and mutual legal assistance among the three courts.
The Chief Justices of the three nations also signed an agreement on crime prevention and control and cross-border civil dispute settlement, especially emerging issues in ASEAN and Indochina.
In the lead-up to the 77th anniversary of the War Invalids and Martyrs’ Day (July 27), Binh also visited heroic Vietnamese mothers and a centre for nursing and rehabilitation for people with meritorious service in Quang Nam.
