In that context, legal harmonisation in ASEAN has become the top concern of ASEAN judicial agencies, Binh said, noting that legal harmonisation in ASEAN will bring member countries closer and reduce legal disputes in civil procedure, he added.
At the workshop, participants emphasized the Vietnamese court's crucial role in ASEAN integration and legal harmonisation, adding that the court has actively contributed to the field, such as promoting the recognition of multinational arbitrators and executing their verdicts, and proposing the National Assembly review and supplement laws – especially the Law on Procedure, in accordance with international standards.
