Vietnam, Russia increase cooperation in legal affairs
VOV.VN - Vietnamese Ambassador to Russia Dang Minh Khoi on March 29 received a delegation of the Russian Federal Bar Association (RFBA) led by its president Sergei Stepashin at the Embassy’s headquarters in Russia.
Ambassador Khoi highly appreciated the cooperation between the Russian Federal Bar Association and the Vietnam Bar Federation, especially in training Vietnamese lawyers, considering this a prospective cooperation direction.
The Ambassador suggested that the two lawyer bodies increase exchange of experiences and delegations promote bilateral cooperation.
Meanwhile, Sergey Stepashin proposed that both sides make working visits to exchange professional experiences, and at the same time organize joint events and seminars on international law issues.
They agreed that efforts should be made to promote exchange and cooperation between the law training institutions of the two sides, as well as to implement cooperation directions prescribed in the Strategic Partnership Agreement signed between the Russian Federal Bar Association and the Vietnam Bar Federation.
The two lawyer bodies established their cooperative relations in 2011, becoming each other’s first foreign partners. They have since actively cooperated bilaterally and supported each other at multilateral forums.
