At the meeting, President Phuc lauded the two supreme courts for their contributions to cooperation between the two countries since the establishment of diplomatic ties 30 years ago.
Through the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), the courts have carried out many projects since 2008, under which the RoK has helped Vietnam build legal documents and teaching plans and programmes in this field, provided support in information-technology and shared experience in judicial training, he said.
The President highlighted the launching of an integrated case management system, part of the project on improving trial transparency and quality at Vietnamese courts funded by KOICA.
President Phuc expressed his belief that with the support of the RoK and efforts by the domestic court sector, the system will not only help Vietnamese judges and court officials fulfill their tasks but also facilitate the public’s access to justice.
He urged the two sides to make greater efforts to gain more successes during the implementation of the above-said project.
For his part, Kim rejoiced at the cooperation outcomes between the two supreme courts over the past time, as well as the upgrade of the Vietnam-RoK relationship to a comprehensive strategic partnership during President Phuc's freshly-ended state visit to the RoK, which, he viewed as a foundation and an impulse for the courts to enhance their cooperation in the time ahead, helping to tighten the bilateral judicial ties.
