At a recent talk with first president of the French court Christophe Soulard, Binh briefed his host on Vietnam’s judicial reform strategy by 2030 with a vision towards 2045, with priorities given to organisational reform, juvenile justice and personnel training.
Binh also invited the French official to visit Vietnam in 2023 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries.
For his part, Soulard reviewed the implementation of the memorandum of understanding on cooperation in 2013, and the cooperation programme for the 2020-2022 period.
The first president expressed his hope that the two sides will step up collaboration in the time ahead through the exchange of judges at national, regional and international levels.
While in France from July 4-9, Binh also had a meeting with French Justice Minister Eric Dupond-Moretti who emphasised that Vietnam is France’s leading partner in the region.
The French side wished to provide technical assistance in the legal field for Vietnam.
Binh said his visit aims to learn from France’s experience to develop the judicial reform strategy by 2030, and build a juvenile law for Vietnam, calling for France’s support in this regard.
On this occasion, the Vietnam Court Academy and the French National School for the Judiciary signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation for a five-year period, during which the two sides will cooperate in judge training and exchange.
Before the trip to France, Binh visited Germany to learn about the country’s experience in judicial reform.
He said that apart from experience sharing, Vietnam signed documents on personnel training cooperation with the two countries.
Accordingly, Vietnam will send experts, lecturers and judges to France and Germany for training, and invited experts from the two countries to Vietnam to give lectures, especially those on stock market and digital economic crime, among others.
