(VOVworld) - Vietnam and France have signed a cooperation agreement which will result in a complete revision of the Notary Law to be submitted to the National Assembly in May.

Under the agreement, signed in Paris, the French Notarial Superior Council (NSC) will assist Vietnam in setting up twinned relations between local notarial councils of both countries and the Vietnam national notary association, as well as providing other technical support. A Vietnamese delegation led by Minister of Justice Ha Hung Cuong held a joint working session with the NSC and the French Senate Law Commission on Monday. Earlier, they worked with the Lyon Notarial Council on matters related to the organizational structure of France’s notarial system and other matters concerning notary training. Minister Cuong also met with his counterpart Christiane Taubira and worked with Paris Court leaders.
