Vietnam, Mongolia courts step up judicial cooperation
VOV.VN - Nguyen Van Quang, Secretary of the Party Central Committee and Chief Justice of the Supreme People’s Court of Vietnam, held talks in Hanoi on March 4 with Ganzorig Damdin, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Mongolia, who is on a working visit to Vietnam.
At the meeting, Quang affirmed the good relations between Vietnam and Mongolia, noting that judicial cooperation is an important part of bilateral ties, helping strengthen mutual understanding and promote relations between the two countries.
He also spoke highly of the close and active cooperation between the two countries’ judicial bodies in recent years and expressed confidence that the talks and the Mongolian delegation’s visit would further advance cooperation in the coming time.
Quang welcomed Mongolia’s recent development achievements, particularly in economic growth, and congratulated the Mongolian court sector on progress made in implementing judicial reforms.
He also shared several outcomes of judicial reform in Vietnam in recent years. Vietnam successfully held its 14th National Party Congress, which reaffirmed that building institutions and developing a rule-of-law-based justice system remain among the country’s key strategic priorities.
The court system is expected to play an important role in national development by helping create a legal environment that gives investors and citizens greater confidence in investment, production and business activities.
Under a policy to streamline the organisational apparatus and implement a new model for the court system under the Law on the Organisation of People’s Courts adopted in 2024 and amended in 2025, Vietnam’s courts are organised into three levels: the Supreme People’s Court, provincial-level People’s Courts and regional People’s Courts.
In addition, to meet practical demands, specialized courts have been established within the system, including bankruptcy courts and intellectual property courts at some regional People’s Courts, as well as specialised courts at the International Financial Centre.
For his part, Mongolian Chief Justice Ganzorig Damdin thanked his Vietnamese counterpart for the warm reception. He said the visit aims to realize cooperation commitments outlined in the memorandum of understanding on judicial cooperation between the courts of the two countries.
The visit also demonstrates the strong determination of the judicial sectors of Vietnam and Mongolia to continue promoting judicial cooperation and develop it into an important pillar of bilateral relations.
During the talks, the two sides discussed directions for cooperation in the coming period, including exchanges of high-level delegations as well as delegations at various levels and localities, while maintaining cooperation and mutual support through both direct and online channels.
They also consented to continue effectively implementing the signed memorandum of understanding on judicial cooperation, focusing on several key areas such as exchanging experience in establishing and operating specialised courts on intellectual property and bankruptcy; studying judicial mechanisms in free trade zones or areas attracting high-quality investment; sharing experience in developing e-courts and digital court administration; and exploring mechanisms for recognising and enforcing foreign court judgments and arbitration awards.
Following the talks, a memorandum of cooperation was signed between the Vietnam Court Academy and the Judicial Training, Research and Information Institute of Mongolia.
