Also on the same day, the two ministers had a working session to discuss ways to beef up the two ministries’ legal and judicial collaboration.

Highlighting extensive room remained for judicial cooperation, Long hoped the Hungarian side, who is experienced in legal system building and judicial reform, will further support his ministry and other Vietnamese legal and judicial agencies.

Concurring with Varga on the importance of legal training collaboration in sustaining strong legal and judicial ties between the two sides, Long said he will pay attention to the matter in the time to come.
