National Assembly Vice Chairman Uong Chu Luu visited Norway on December 5-6 to share experience in legislation and strengthen cooperation between the two legislative bodies.
He held talks with first Vice President of the Norwegian parliament Marit Nabykk and met with Chief Justice of the Supreme Court Tore Schei, and many other representatives of the judicial agencies.
Norwegian legislators and officials briefed Luu on the functions and operations of the Norwegian parliament, the Supreme Court, the Procuracy, judicial agencies, as well as amendments to the Constitution and the relationship between the parliament and executive agencies.
They inquired about Vietnam’s trade and investment ties with European nations, and foreign assistance to help the country realize socio-economic development projects along with environmental protection and climate change adaptation.
For his part, Luu informed his hosts about the Vietnam National Assembly, its operational mechanism, and international cooperation.
He conveyed Vietnam National Assembly Chairman Nguyen Sinh Hung’s invitation to the Norwegian parliamentary speaker to visit Vietnam and attend the 132nd Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU) General Assembly due to take place in capital Hanoi in March 2015.
Both sides were delighted at the fine development of Vietnam-Norway relations over the years and vowed to increase bilateral economic and trade ties to raise two-way trade to a new level.
Nabykk said both sides need to expand cooperation in other areas such as climate change adaptation and reforestation, while accelerating negotiations of a free trade agreement (FTA) between Vietnam and the European Free Trade Association (EFTA).
