The Supreme People’s Procuracy of Vietnam (SPPV) and the Lao Supreme People’s Procuracy (LSPP) have agreed to promote exchanges of delegations of senior experts and provincial officials and share information as well as experiences in fighting crimes.

The agreement was reached at a Dec. 1 meeting between a delegation of the LSPP and the SPPV delegation headed by its Director Tran Quoc Vuong, who is on a five-day working visit to Laos at the invitation of the LSPP Director Somphanh Phengkhammy, starting from Dec. 1.

The two sides exchanged briefings about each country’s socio-economic development and outcomes of the cooperation in training judicial officials, as well as preparations for the second conference of people’s procuracy bodies for Vietnamese and Lao border provinces hosted by the LSPP.

The SPPV pledged to help the LSPP in training and raising knowledge for Lao judicial officials and continue dispatching experts to the country.

Both host and guest also agreed to work closely on the implementation of the Vietnam-Laos treaty on mutual judicial assistance in civil and criminal matters which was agreed in Hanoi on July 6, 1998./.
