Mentioning the Vietnam - Hungary agreement on mutual legal assistance in civil matters signed in 2018, Long noted his hope that the two sides will maintain their close coordination in the implementation of the agreement, contributing to spurring socio-economic development, and protecting State interests, and the legitimate rights and interests of agencies, organizations and individuals.
Following the talks, the two sides inked a letter of intent on personnel training, under which the Hungary Ministry of Justice will train from one to three Vietnamese judicial officials each year to sharpen their skills in law and justice within three months in Hungary.
In November 2012, the Vietnamese Ministry of Justice and the Hungarian Ministry of Public Administration and Justice signed a cooperation agreement, creating an important legal foundation for the two sides to strengthen their coordination in addressing common concern in legal assistance, and exchange experience in law building and consolidation, and international integration.
To realize the agreement, the two signed cooperation plans for 2013-2014, 2016-2017 and 2018-2019. Most recently, a cooperation plan for 2022-2023 was inked on the occasion of Justice Minister Le Thanh Long accompanying National Assembly Chairman Vuong Dinh Hue on an official visit to Hungary in June 2022.
