Switzerland, VN share law building experience

The four-year MoU including law building and enforcement, and execution of international treaties under a freshly inked Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed between Deputy Minister of Justice of Viet Nam Tran Tien Dung and Depauty Head of the Federal Department of Justice and Police of Switzerland Michael Scholl as part of the former’s visit to the European country.

Under the MoU, the two sides will hold meetings and consultations on the implementation of international treaties as well as sharing professional documents and information on the laws of their respective nation.

In the first two years, both sides will join hands to translate The Hague Convention concluded on November 15, 1965 on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudical Documents in Civil or Commercial Matter. 

Meanwhile, the building of international justice law will be part of the MoU.

The two sides will also share experience in the execution of The Hague Convention concluded on March 18, 1970 on the Taking of Evidence Abroad in Civil or Commercial Matters, and the New York Convention on the Recognition and Enforcement of Foreign Arbitral Awards.

During the visit, the Vietnamese delegation also made a fact-finding tour of the debt collection office in Bern region to study models and forms used in the host nation to reclaim debts and register for debt confirmation.
