On November 13, local time, within the framework of an official visit to the Republic of Peru, at the headquarters of the Supreme Court in the capital Lima, President Luong Cuong met with Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Javier Arevalo Vela.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, President Luong Cuong expressed his joy at visiting the beautiful country of Peru for the first time and meeting with the highest leaders of the Peruvian judiciary.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Peru warmly welcomed President Luong Cuong and the high-ranking Vietnamese delegation on their official visit to Peru, highly appreciating and emphasizing the significance of the visit taking place on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Vietnam and Peru (November 14, 1994 - November 14, 2024), and expressed his belief that the visit will contribute to consolidating and enhancing the relationship between the two countries in the coming time.
President Luong Cuong informed the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court that during this visit, the leaders of the two sides will discuss specific measures to enhance cooperation, thereby creating an important impetus to bring the Vietnam-Peru relationship to new heights in the coming time.
Regarding the judicial sector, the President said that after 40 years of implementing the Renovation process, Vietnam has achieved many achievements in building a legal system and a rule-of-law state.
However, in his capacity as Head of the Central Steering Committee for Judicial Reform, President Luong Cuong said that Vietnam needs to continue promoting the improvement of the legal system to meet the new situation and serve the country's development.
In that process, learning and consulting experiences from international friends is very important. Accordingly, the President hopes that in the coming time, the Vietnamese and Peruvian Courts will have more cooperation activities and delegation exchanges to learn from each other's experiences.
President Luong Cuong hopes that the Peruvian judiciary will actively create favorable conditions for Vietnamese enterprises to increase investment in Peru, and also suggests that the judiciary of the two countries step up coordination at inter-regional and international judicial forums.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Peru affirmed that Peru in general and the Peruvian judiciary in particular always attach importance to and are ready to promote cooperative and friendly relations with Vietnam; affirming that Peru always considers Vietnam a leading important partner and a reliable bridge in Peru's overall foreign policy in the East Asia region.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Peru agreed with the President's assessments of the potential and necessity of promoting judicial cooperation between the two countries, and proposed that the Courts of Vietnam and Peru soon sign a cooperation document to guide specific cooperation activities in the coming time.
The Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Peru affirmed that Vietnamese enterprises investing in Peru will always be protected by Peruvian law, and emphasized that Vietnam and Peru are both law-abiding countries, so there is still much room and potential for cooperation between the two countries' judicial agencies.
The two sides expressed their belief that with the determination and efforts of both sides, the Vietnam-Peru relationship in general and the judicial cooperation between the two countries in particular will enter a new and increasingly better chapter, contributing to peace, stability and development of the two countries and the two regions.
