President Truong Tan Sang held a reception in Hanoi on December 13 for delegates attending the fourth ASEAN Chief Justices’ Roundtable on the Role of the Judiciary in Environmental Protection in Vietnam’s capital city.
Chief justices and senior members of judiciaries spoke highly of Vietnam’s organisation of the event, which demonstrates the country’s special attention to environmental challenges.
The roundtable’s outcomes will help participating nations gain more experience in perfecting their legal system, particularly courts’ judging role in protecting the environment, they added.
The Vietnamese leader deemed the function as a forum for member countries to exchange expertise and share their law regarding environmental protection as well as effective measures to deal with related challenges.
With a population of more than 600 million, ASEAN will become more united and active in supporting member nations’ development once a common community is formed in 2015, he noted, while expressing his hope for more creative measures to be devised at the roundtable for the regional sustainable development and prosperity.
The President said Vietnam is willing to share and learn from other countries’ experience in environmental protection and national development.
Close cooperation among member countries will also strengthen their ties in handling environmental challenges in the future, he added.
The fourth ASEAN Chief Justices’ Roundtable on the Role of the Judiciary in Environmental Protection is co-organised by the Supreme People’s Court of Vietnam and the Asian Development Bank (ADB) on December 13-14.-VNA
