- France, Vietnam cooperate in notary services
- Vietnam-France trade hits EUR3.5 billion in 2013
- Vietnam, France fete 40 years of ties
The discussion came up from Justice Minister Ha Hung Cuong’s talks with his French counterpart Christiane Taubira in Paris on February 25 during his working visit from February 22-25.
Cuong was briefed that France is drafting a plan to help Vietnam develop legal support professions like lawyer, notary services and court secretary.
The two ministers shared their regret that the Vietnam-France Legal House was shut down after 19 years of operation, pledging to work together to set up a similar institution that would connect their professionals and with regional colleagues.
The same day, Minister Cuong met with Jean-Marc Sauve, Vice President of Council of State of France and President of the French Institute of Administrative Sciences, during which they signed an agreement on cooperation in building and issuing law and legal documents related to administration.
The agreement will allow Vietnam to study France’s experience in building laws to standardise State decisions in a time when it is preparing to draft a law on administrative decisions, he said.
Later Cuong met with Chief of France’s Court of Cassation Vincent Lamanda who introduced setting and applying legal precedent in judging, which is helpful for Vietnam in undertaking its legal and judicial reforms.
Minister Cuong and his entourage left France the same day for a working visit to Algeria.
