During a working session with the Supreme Court of Canada, Nguyen Hoa Binh, chief justice of the Supreme People's Court of Vietnam, said upgrading relations to the comprehensive partnership helped trade and investment of the two countries develop rapidly.

The two sides are striving to reach a bilateral value of US$10 billion. In addition to investment cooperation, tourism, and people-to-people exchanges are also developing strongly.

Currently, Vietnam has about 21,000 students studying in Canada and a community of nearly 300,000 people living there. Therefore, judicial cooperation between the two sides is an inevitable requirement.

According to Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Canada Richard Wagner, cooperation in the judicial field is not commensurate with the needs and potential of the two countries' relationship.

Richard Wagner emphasized that in the context of international integration, no national court can develop without international cooperation. The Supreme Court of Canada wishes to strengthen cooperation and is willing to share experiences with Vietnam.

At a meeting with the Chief Justice of the Canadian Judicial Institute, Nguyen Hoa Binh raised the issue of cooperation in training between the Canadian Judicial Institute and the Vietnam Court Academy to improve the capacity of Vietnamese judges through a program focusing on updating legal knowledge, professional skills and social understanding of the Canadian Judicial Institute.

During the business trip, the Vietnamese delegation also exchanged shared experiences and court skills with units in Canada's Department of Justice. Canada shared with Vietnam information about the court system, judicial independence, specialized types of Canadian courts, and juvenile justice issues.
