China and Singapore to Boost Legal and Judicial Cooperation

China and Singapore agreed to improve legal and judicial cooperation at a meeting between Meng Jianzhu， head of the Commission for Political and Legal Affairs of the Communist Party of China （CPC） Central Committee， and Singapore's Chief Justice Sundaresh Menon.

\"Legal and judicial cooperation is an important guarantee for stable development of China-Singapore ties in the long run，\" said Meng， who is also a member of the Political Bureau of the CPC Central Committee.

He called on the two sides to establish mechanisms on recognition and enforcement of judgments in civil and commercial matters， legal and judicial cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative and China-ASEAN legal and judicial exchanges.

Menon said Singapore stands ready to carry out close cooperation in this field with China based on friendship and mutual trust.
