When taking effect, the treaty is expected to create an important legal tool to help the two countries' judicial agencies better handle criminal cases, and better protect legitimate rights and interests of citizens of each country, thus contributing to further strengthening the traditional friendship between Vietnam and Uzbekistan.

The ratification of the document also further affirms the Vietnamese Party and State's policy of proactive international integration, and concretises Vietnam's international commitments in the field of criminal justice and cooperation in crime prevention and control.
