(VOVworld) - Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev on Thursday signed a law ratifying an agreement on mutual legal assistance in civil matters between Kazakhstan and Vietnam. 

The document boosts legal cooperation and assistance in civil cases based on a mutual respect for each country’s sovereignty and interests.

It will simplify and streamline legal assistance procedures for citizens of both nations. The agreement was signed in November, 2011, during President Nazarbayev’s official visit to Vietnam.
