He pointed to great potential for cooperation in civil and trade laws between the two countries.
Regarding the French law centre project, he said once materialised, it would become an effective and practical cooperation model between the two countries in legal and judicial affairs.
Ninh suggested the two ministries further facilitate cooperation between relevant associations, especially in digital transformation in judicial service, and better implement the 2024 - 2025 cooperation programme.
Migaud urged the two sides to create favourable conditions for the French Embassy in Hanoi to coordinate with legal and judicial agencies of the two countries to organise the annual French law week in Vietnam.
On this occasion, Ninh invited Migaud to soon pay an official visit to Vietnam. The latter accepted the invitation with pleasure.
This is the first meeting at the justice minister level between the two countries since 2013, which is expected to open up new opportunities and enhance their legal and judicial cooperation in the time ahead./.
