HÀ NỘI — President Võ Văn Thưởng has expressed his belief that the ongoing visit to Việt Nam by Chief Justice of Russia Lebedev Vyacheslav Mikhailovich will further deepen Việt Nam-Russia comprehensive strategic partnership.

During his reception in Hà Nội on Monday for Mikhailovich, President Thưởng thanked the guest for conveying Russian President Vladimir Putin’s letter to him. He said he concurred with the points raised by Putin in the letter, particularly in regards to further enhancing the long-standing traditional friendship between the two countries across all areas, especially amid complicated developments in the region and the world at present.

Việt Nam always valued the comprehensive strategic partnership with Russia, he said, adding that Việt Nam wished to promote deeper and more effective Việt Nam-Russia cooperation, which would meet the practical interests of both nations, for the sake of peace, stability and development in the region and the world.

He lauded the two judicial sectors for maintaining the exchange of delegations and coordinating in professional activities, regularly sharing stances on regional and global issues, maintaining annual evaluation of cooperative outcomes and adding new areas of collaboration in a more practical and effective manner.

The President stressed that the Vietnamese court sector played a crucial role in implementing the strategy for building and perfecting the socialist rule-of-law State of Việt Nam until 2030, with a vision to 2045, which includes various aspects related to improving the operating efficiency of the court system.

Việt Nam encouraged international cooperation between the Vietnamese court sector and the Supreme Court of Russia, as well as courts of other countries, to share information, professional expertise, and improve legal and judicial systems, he said.

The host believed that in the near future, the two court sectors would work more closely together, making active contributions to the development of each nation, as well as tightening traditional cooperation between the two nations.

Mikhailovich, for his part, said Putin highlighted the long-standing friendship with Việt Nam as one of the priorities in Russia's external relations.

Russia advocated enhancing cooperation with Việt Nam across the board, including priority areas for 2022-2023, he said, adding that Russia highly valued and appreciated the working outcomes of the Việt Nam-Russia Inter-Governmental Committee. Amid the complicated global situation at present, both countries needed to expand cooperation in areas such as oil and gas, economy, investment, agriculture, as well as cooperation between the two countries' court sectors and judicial agencies.

Briefing the host about the activities of the Supreme Court of Russia and its joint work with the Supreme People's Court of Việt Nam, Mikhailovich said both sides had jointly improved the quality of trials, ensuring fairness and democracy in line with the law.

The two sides agreed to increase the exchange of delegations, improve the capacity and professional qualifications of judges and court officials at all levels. — VNS
