Director of Public Prosecutions to visit Guangdong
At the invitation of the Guangdong Provincial People's Procuratorate, the Director of Public Prosecutions, Mr Peter Nguyen, will lead a group of six Crown Counsel from the Legal Department to visit Guangdong Province from tomorrow (Wednesday) to April 12.
A delegation of the Guangdong Provincial People's Procuratorate had visited the Legal Department in July last year. The forthcoming visit to Guangdong is a reciprocity with an aim to strengthen the contacts between Crown Counsel working in the Prosecutions Division and their counterparts in China.
During their stay in China, the delegation will meet with officials of the People's Procuratorates at the provincial and municipal levels and other legal institutions. It is hoped that by such visits, the delegates will acquire a better understanding of the structure and operation of the various Chinese legal institutions.
