The workshop was co-chaired by Mrs. Nguyen Thi Kim Thoa, Director of the Department of Criminal - Administrative Law, Vietnam’s Ministry of Justice and Mr. Luke-Brown, Director of the Agency for Justice Assistance, Australia’s Attorney-General's Department.

At the workshop, national and international experts discussed and  exchanged some main contents related to experience of Australia in construction and completion of criminal law on the prevention, anti-money laundering and human trafficking, Vietnam law on the prevention of money laundering and some suggestion to complete provisions of the Penal Code on the prevention of money laundering, Vietnam legal system on the prevention of corruption and the orientation of amending provisions of the Criminal Code on corruption offenses.

In order to complete the Vietnam legal framework on these matters, a number of perspectives and orientations to amend and supplement were proposed at the workshop. For example, we should define such kinds of crimes in “satellite” laws - specialized laws such as Law on Anti-corruption, Law on Anti-money laundering. For provisions on corruption offenses, the amendment and supplementing must conform to the United Nations Convention against Corruption and expand the scope of the concept of corruption. In addition, some solutions to handling with those offences were suggested in the workshop including declaration of assets, supplementing offences violating the declaration of assets and administrative violation sanctions in this field.
