Top Hungary prosecutor visits Ha Noi

HA NOI— National Assembly chairman Nguyen Phu Trong yesterday held talks on judicial reform with visiting Hungarian Prosecutor General Kovacs Tamas.

Trong expressed his desire to strengthen cooperation between the two countries' prosecutors.

He added that relations between the two countries had developed well and said both countries continued to honour co-operation agreements, including an agreement between the countries' legislative assemblies.

Tamas replied that the Hungarian procuracy was willing to share its experience and co-operate with its Vietnamese counterpart in the application of information technology and training programmes.

Earlier in the day, Tamas held talks with Tran Quoc Vuong, director of the Viet Nam Supreme People's Procuracy, in which the two sides agreed to speed up the implementation of an agreement on legal aid.

Over the next week Tamas will also hold meetings with officials in Quang Nam Province and Da Nang and HCM cities. — VNS
