Addressing the plenary session of the fifth Cuba International Justice Forum, held from February 3–5, Tinh highlighted Vietnam’s experience and practical lessons in improving its legal framework to support national development.

He stressed that legal and judicial cooperation should serve as a key pillar for joint responses to global legal challenges, including cybercrime, migration, climate change, environmental protection and non-traditional security issues. Vietnam, he noted, stands ready to expand cooperation in digital transformation, artificial intelligence (AI) and new development models, promoting mutual learning in law-making, legal reform and law enforcement to address shared global challenges for the common good.

On the sidelines of the forum, Deputy Minister Tinh met with Cuban Minister of Justice Rosabel Gamón Verde and President of the Supreme People’s Court of Cuba Oscar Manuel Silvera Martinez. During the meetings, he updated his counterparts on the outcomes of the 14th National Congress of the Communist Party of Vietnam, which identified institutional reform and law enforcement as among the country’s most important strategic breakthroughs.

He reaffirmed the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice’s commitment to sharing experience with its Cuban counterpart in fulfilling their respective mandates, contributing to the continued strengthening of fraternal solidarity, comprehensive cooperation and mutual trust between the Parties, States and people of Vietnam and Cuba.

The Cuban side expressed a strong desire to deepen cooperation between the two ministries of justice and the supreme courts, particularly in law-making and legal reform, digital transformation, international development cooperation and the exchange of practical experience. Cuban officials also highly valued the technical assistance project for the Cuban Ministry of Justice, agreed by the two governments in August 2025, aimed at enhancing capacity in law-making and law enforcement.

Both sides underlined that the 2026–2027 judicial cooperation programme reflects the continuity and continuous development of the long-standing traditional partnership between the two ministries, contributing to the special, steadfast and enduring solidarity between Vietnam and Cuba.

During his visit, Deputy Minister Nguyen Thanh Tinh and the delegation also visited the Vietnamese Embassy in Cuba and laid flowers at the statue of President Ho Chi Minh at the park bearing his name in Havana.
