President Nguyen Xuan Phuc on Tuesday asked the court and judicial sector to continue with reforms to adapt to the new situation and better meet requirements of national development. Judicial reform offers a driving force to improve the quality and efficiency of courts, the President, who is also head of the Central Steering Committee for Judicial Reform, told a symposium in Hanoi.

Mr. Phuc stressed the need to give more power to courts in handling cases involving the violation of interests of the public and the State.

The President pointed out other tasks like improving personnel quality,  strengthen infrastructure, and ensuring resources to build a professional, modern, effective court system.

He lauded judicial reform achievements, notably reconciliation and dialogues at courts, which have contributed to raising Vietnamese courts’ position, image and prestige.

Mr. Phuc said that Industy 4.0 and Vietnam’s new socio-economic context have forced the sector to conduct more reforms to promote the country’s sustainable development.
