Vietnam, Bulgaria boost judicial ties
Sofia (VNA) - Vietnam and Bulgaria are likely to reach an agreement on legal and judicial cooperation soon after the two ministers of justice met in Bulgaria recently.
During his visit to Bulgaria from June 21-26, Minister of Justice Ha Hung Cuong held working sessions with his host Miglena Tacheva, where the duo reached a consensus on principles of negotiation on the accord.
Host and guest shared a view that the two countries have much in common in legal and judicial reforms while shifting the national economy from centrally planned to market oriented.
“The two countries may share experiences in this field,” they emphasised.
During his stay in Bulgaria , Cuong also met with leaders of a number of key executive agencies such as the National Assembly’s Legal Committee, the Supreme Judicial Council, the Supreme Court, the General Procuracy, the National Institute of Judiciary, and the National Lawyers’ Association.
During these meetings, the Vietnamese justice chief informed the Bulgarian side of the nation’s recent socio-economic achievements and progress made in legal and judicial reforms.
The Bulgarian side appreciated Vietnam ’s increasing prestige in the regional and international arena.
The two sides were of the view that with Vietnam being an active member of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations and Bulgaria a member of the European Union, opportunities for multi-faceted cooperation are ahead for the two countries in both bilateral and multilateral spheres.
