Algeria, Vietnam intensify judicial cooperation
Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung hosted a reception in Hanoi on June 10 for Algerian Minister of Justice Tayeb Louh, who is on a working visit to Vietnam from June 9-14.
The PM spoke highly of the visit, saying it reflects the two countries’ determination to implement high-level agreements signed during his recent official visit to Algeria.
He affirmed that important common perceptions and new cooperation orientations reached during his visit will develop the bilateral time-honoured friendship and multi-faceted cooperation in a more intensive and reliable manner.
Vietnam will do its utmost to work with Algeria in carrying out the agreements, especially targets involving economics, trade, investment, agriculture, culture and oil and gas, he added.
Tayeb Louh told PM Nguyen Tan Dung that after his visit, the Algerian PM urged ministers to quickly implement cooperation initiatives in the agreements. He believed the bilateral cooperation will produce practical results, bringing benefits to both peoples.
The Algerian minister is in Vietnam for a working visit from June 9-14 as part of the cooperation plan between his ministry and the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice.
Minister Tayeb Louh and his Vietnamese counterpart Ha Hung Cuong held talks the same day in Hanoi and signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation for 2016-2017 between the two ministries after their meeting.
Under the document, in 2016, the two sides will exchange legal normative documents through appropriate channels and in accordance with each side’s demand, while sharing updated information on the promulgation of their documents and organising visits of judicial officials.
In 2017, the ministries will cooperate to execute criminal judgements, manage judicial records and exchange information on training programmes for judicial officials.
During the talks, the two ministers informed each other of judicial reforms in their country.
Tayeb Louh expressed his hope for tightened cooperation between the two ministries to further enhance Algeria-Vietnam relations.
The same day, Chief Justice of the Vietnam Supreme People’s Court Truong Hoa Binh received visiting Algerian Minister of Justice Tayeb Louh.
Binh, who is also a secretary of the Party Central Committee, described the working visit as crucial to fostering cooperation between the two Ministries of Justice as well as between other relevant agencies.
He noted that Vietnam has been reforming its judicial activities for ten years and reaped certain outcomes resulting in substantive improvements in the court system.
The court system in Vietnam is now divided into four levels, as opposed to three previously: the Supreme People’s Court, the superior people’s courts, the provincial-level people’s courts, and the district-level people’s courts. Meanwhile, methods for selecting and appointing judges have been fine-tuned to enhance the independence of judges, he stated.
Algerian Minister Tayeb Louh said his visit is intended to boost overall relations between the nations and their justice partnership in particular, noting that his country is also stepping up legal and judicial reforms through various measures, including equipping judges with first-rate skills.
He added the judicial court system in Algeria consists of trial courts, appeal courts, and the Supreme Court.
At the meeting, the two sides shared their respective country’s experiences in judicial and legal reforms, judicial staff training and hearings.
They agreed to increase high-ranking delegation exchanges and closely cooperate in matters of mutual concern
