Legal cooperation with France discussed

Legal officials from Vietnam and France met in Hanoi March 2-3 to discuss cooperation in developing Vietnam's legal system along with economic development. It was the 12th working session of the Orientation Committee of the Vietnam-France Legal Home (VFLH), which has as so far opened training courses for over 2,000 Vietnamese lawyers and held almost 400 professional symposiums. VFLH co-president Nicole Guedj said France is willing to help Vietnam strengthen its legal system to improve its regional and international position without having to change its ideology and identity.
