These two documents are expected to boost up the cooperation between the two sides, especially in terms of information exchange, training and consultancy.
Mr. Hugo Hans Siblesz revealed that the signing of these two documents will help Viet Nam get access to arbitration procedures, enhance the respect of law and contribute to dealing with regional conflicts.
The PCA, an inter-governmental organization with 115 members, is established to treat with intentional conflicts with peaceful measures. Viet Nam joined the PCA on December 29, 2011.
