Vietnam and the Czech Republic establisheddiplomatic ties over seven decades ago. Their cooperative relationship has beengrowing stronger and fully. Currently, the Vietnamese community in the CzechRepublic is recognised as the 14th ethnic minority group in thecountry.

The Czech Republic inherited the agreement on mutual legal assistance in civil andcriminal matters that the Czech-Slovakia and Vietnam signed in 1982, which provides a legal framework to deal withrequests for legal assistance in criminal matters over the past years.

It is a testament to Vietnam's deliveryon international commitments in the field of criminal justice and its effortsto prevent and combat crimes./.
