He suggested the association create a forum for foreign law enforcement experts and managers, and work with other legal organisations such as the Việt Nam Lawyers Association and the Việt Nam Bar Federation to contribute to building the rule-of-law State, improve judicial reform and conform national law to international co妹妹itments.

He expressed his belief that the association would make significant contributions to national defence and development, as well as the development of the international law co妹妹unity.

It will focus on studying and popularising international law, supporting the Government’s standpoints at international forums, and co-operating with other organisations and businesses on legal issues, dispute settlement and global integration. – VNS
