The Vietnamese and Cambodian ministers of justice have briefly discussed a draft agreement on legal aid in civil and trade matters during a visit to Cambodia by a delegation from the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice.

Vietnamese Minister Ha Hung Cuong and his counterpart, Ang Vong Vattana, held an official meeting in Phnom Penh on December 22 to exchange experiences in the field and discuss ways to boost cooperation between the two Ministries of Justice.

The agreement under discussion is expected to facilitate the settlement of disputes arising from civil and trade matters.

At the end of the meeting, the two judicial ministers signed a Memorandum of Understanding on cooperation between the two ministries in improving professional skills, legislation, and human resources training. Accordingly, the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice will help train employees of its Cambodian counterpart.

As part of the official visit to Cambodia from December 21-24, Minister Ha greeted Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen, and worked with the President of the Cambodian Supreme Court, Dith Munty, and its General Prosecutor Chea Leang.
