VN, Singapore Bolster Court Cooperation
Chief Judge of the Supreme People’s Court Truong Hoa Binh and his Singaporean counterpart Sundaresh Menon have agreed to soon sign a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on cooperation between the two supreme courts to lay a underpinning for partnership activities.
Future activities will be focused on delegation exchange, personnel training, IT application in court activities, and the joint organisation of international conferences.
These were reached during the officials’ meeting as part of Truong Hoa Binh’s working visit to Singapore from January 4-6.
Both sides agreed to set up groups of judges who will work together to devise cooperation areas to submit them to the two chief judges for approval on the fringes of the upcoming ASEAN Chief Justices’ Meeting.
During the visit, the Vietnamese official attended the launching ceremony of Singapore’s Legal Year 2015.
He joined a banquet hosted by Singaporean President Tony Tan Keng Yam, who voiced his support for the establishment and development of bilateral partnership between the two Supreme Courts.
