She trained judges in Mongolia on secured transactions law and provided comments on secured obligations to officials in Vietnam. All of these interactions took place in a virtual format.
More than 100 judges in Mongolia took part in Professor Nguyen’s training October 7 and 8. The event was sponsored by the World Bank/IFC, and she was the main speaker both days. “The 12-hour time difference was a good challenge!” Professor Nguyen said.
The Ministry of Justice in Hanoi, Vietnam, invited Professor Nguyen to provide two hours of comments on a Draft Decree on Secured Obligations at the Consultation Workshop. The event took place October 14. She will provide a new set of comments, which are by invitation only, on October 19. The workshop is conducted by the Drafting Team of the Vietnam Ministry.
