At the meeting, Chief Justice Binh expressed his delight to welcome Justice Ginsburg to discuss issues pertaining to social equality, human rights and equal access to the courts— and the two chief justices agreed to strengthen cooperation in these areas.

Later during her visit, Chief Justice Ginsberg will officiate over a same-sex marriage ceremony as the US Ambassador to Vietnam Ted Osius renews vows with husband Clayton Bond.

At 82, Ginsburg is currently the oldest justice on the Supreme Court bench. She was appointed in 1993 by President Clinton, becoming the second female justice in the history of the US Supreme Court.
