The President stressed that the Vietnamese court sector plays a crucial role in implementing the strategy for building and fine-tuning the socialist rule-of-law State of Vietnam until 2030, with a vision to 2045, which includes various aspects related to improving the operating efficiency of the court system.
Vietnam encourages international cooperation between the Vietnamese court sector and the Supreme Court of Russia, as well as courts of other countries, to share information, professional expertise, and improve legal and judicial systems, he said.
