Addressing about 150 delegates at the event, Minister Vathana spoke highly of the efficiency of collaboration between the two countries’ judicial agencies over the past years, especially in the exchange of information and experience in courts’ legal enforcement, fight against cross-border crime, and training for judicial officers at all levels, particularly in border provinces.
