Vietnam, Germany step up legal affairs collaboration
VOV.VN - Representatives from the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defence’s Department of Legal Affairs and the German Ministry of Defence’s Directorate-General for Legal Affairs held talks on November 8 in Hanoi as part of efforts to discuss measures to step up bilateral ties.
Both sides compared notes on issues related to the building and perfection of the military and defence legal systems of the two countries; as well as the development of a number of legal documents on military affairs, national defence, UN peacekeeping, and civil defence.
Maj. Gen. Han Manh Thang, head of the Vietnamese department, briefed guests on the nation making military and defence laws with the goal of establishing a solid legal basis to implement military and defence tasks.
This is along with preventing and dealing with sabotage plots and activities carried out by hostile forces to protect the Fatherland's independence, sovereignty, unity, territorial integrity, citizens, the Party, the State, and the socialist regime.
Stefan Sohm, deputy head of the Directorate-General for Legal Affairs, shared experience in participating in UN peacekeeping activities, as well as building a legal corridor for regional and world peace protection activities.
Both sides therefore agreed on the necessity of signing an international agreement at the defence ministerial level on co-operation in military and defence legal affairs.
They pledged to continue strengthening delegation exchanges, information sharing, and human resources training.
