Binh said judicial reform is identified as one of the major tasks in the country’s comprehensive renovation, which, he said, is stipulated in documents of the Party’s Congresses, especially two resolutions recently issued by the Political Bureau.

The official took the occasion to thank the valuable support of Lao agencies and Minister Bounkeut Sangsomsak in particular for the development of people’s courts of Vietnam. 

In reply, the Lao Minister said his visit aims to foster relations between the two countries and exchange judicial experience with relev ant Vietnamese agencies. 

Hailing Vietnam’s judicial reform over the past time, the guest said Laos is stepping up renovations in legal and judicial sectors through myriad measures, focusing on training judicial officials. 

He expressed his hope to receive more support from the Supreme People’s Court of Vietnam in this field.
