Vietnamese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and The Hague Academy of International Law sign a memorandum of understanding on training international legal experts for Vietnam. |
Under the document, the academy will coordinate with the Vietnamese ministry in organizing short-term training programs or courses on international law and international dispute settlement for Vietnamese experts. At the same time, the Vietnamese side will periodically nominate Vietnamese students to participate in the academy's annual courses and research programs.
At a meeting with PCA representatives, the two sides discussed cooperation between the PCA and Vietnam, especially after the court officially opened its representative office in Hanoi.
The ministry appreciates the efforts of the PCA Office in Vietnam in 2022 and proposes the PCA Secretary-General to facilitate the Hanoi office to have more training activities on international law for Vietnamese ministries and sectors in 2023.
PCA Secretary-General Marcin Czepelak expressed his gratitude to the ministry and others and sectors of Vietnam for supporting the PCA office in Hanoi’s training activities. He asked Vietnam to participate in activities to prepare for the 125th anniversary of the establishment of the PCA in 2024.
