The signing took place during their talks, part of the activities to implement the joint statement on law and judicial cooperation between Vietnam and Germany.

Under the cooperation agreement in the 2009-2011 period, Vietnam and Germany will deploy International Conventions to which the two sides are signatories or in which they will participate and propose measures to implement international commitments.

The two sides will continue to work together in the fields of civil procedures, trade, labour, penal procedures, anti-corruption, penal execution and legal assistance.
