MOSCOW — A delegation of the Supreme People’s Court led by Chief Justice Nguyễn Hòa Bình paid a working visit to Russia from July 2-5, during which he expressed his hope to learn experience from the country in developing and perfecting the legal system.

At a meeting with Chairwoman of the Russian Supreme Court Irina Podnosova on Tuesday, Bình noted that his visit aims to learn about the operation of first instance courts in Russia, which helps ease the workload for those at higher levels.

Briefing the host on Việt Nam’s judicial reform, Bình said the country plans to devise a bankruptcy law and Russia’s experience in this field would be useful for the Supreme People’s Court.

Podnosova shared experience with her Việt Namese colleagues in digitalisation and the organisation of online trials which help speed up the work and improve the transparency in the sector.

Bình called for Russia’s support in training judges and court officials, as well as scholarships for students of the Việt Namese Court Academy to study in Russia.

At another meeting with Chairman of the Moscow City Court Mikhail Ptitsyn on Wednesday, the two sides touched upon mediation trials and digitalisation at the Moscow court.

While in Russia, the Việt Namese delegation also visited the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, the Third Cassation Court in charge of Northwestern Russia, the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, and the Academy of Management at the the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs. — VNS
