Pakistan, South Korea move toward judicial cooperation MoU

Mettis Link News reported that Pakistan and South Korea are moving toward a proposed memorandum of understanding between their judiciaries. The accord would deepen institutional links on court automation, digital change and technology-based justice. The signing is slated for a forthcoming Seoul trip by Pakistan's Chief Justice.

Discussions took place when South Korean Ambassador Han Sungho met the Chief Justice at the Supreme Court, covering court administration and technology-led reforms. Pakistan recognised the Korean side's expertise in automating court operations. The Chief Justice also mentioned the 20th Conference of Chief Justices of Asia and the Pacific, staged in Seoul, where Justice Miangul Hassan Aurangzeb took part for Pakistan's Supreme Court.

At that conference, Justice Aurangzeb held talks with Justice Noh Gyeong Pil, Minister of National Court Administration, on administration, digital change and capacity building. The ambassador backed Pakistan's judicial reform agenda and wider cooperation between the two countries. A senior Foreign Ministry official also attended the meeting.
