A procurator delegation led by Deputy Director of the People’s Supreme Procuracy of Vietnam Nguyen Thi Thuy Khiem began a working visit to Cambodia on July 1.

The delegation held talks the same day with a delegation from the Cambodia Supreme Court headed by General Prosecutor Chea Leang, who described the visit as an important step to bolster ties between judicial and prosecuting agencies of the two countries.

The Vietnamese official asked for enhanced cooperation among criminal and judicial agencies as well as in personnel training between the two neighbours. She also stressed the importance of boosting cooperation between border localities in the fight against criminal and transnational crimes.

She also took the occasion to invite the Cambodia Supreme Court to attend the ASEAN-China chief procurators meeting slated for November in Vietnam .

Chea Leng expressed her hope that Vietnam and Cambodia will organise more workshops on judicial and criminal matters and increase exchange of visits by the two sides.

During the five-day visit, the Vietnamese delegation will pay a courtesy visit to Prime Minister Hun Sen and visit the Cambodian Justice Ministry. (VNA)
