With the aim of advancing high-quality Belt and Road cooperation, the seminar was a concrete initiative by China's MOJ to deepen exchanges and cooperation with Belt and Road partner countries in law and judicial administration.

The seminar mainly introduced Xi Jinping Thought on the Rule of Law and China's achievements in advancing the rule of law, while exploring key topics such as digital transformation of judiciary and crime prevention.

Participants spoke highly of China's achievements in economic and social development and the rule of law. They said they hoped that China's MOJ would continue to organize such training programs for judicial officials from Belt and Road partner countries, build a platform for mutual exchange and collaboration among relevant departments, and effectively strengthen pragmatic cooperation in legal and judicial fields among Belt and Road partner countries. This would contribute rule-of-law strength to advancing high-quality Belt and Road cooperation and accelerating the building of a community with a shared future for humanity, they added.
