Việt Nam and the RoK have signed agreements on criminal extradition (Sept. 2003), criminal justice assistance (Sept. 2003), and convict exchange (May 2009).
Closer economic linkages between the two countries become another reason to boost justice assistance in civil and trade fields.
The first round of talks takes place on October 28-30 in Hà Nội.
