The
Supreme Peoples Court of Vietnam would like to express its
thanks to CDI for organising study tours to Australia for the Vietnamese
Courts. These study tours have proved to be a valuable experience
and have made a significant impression upon the Vietnamese Courts.
It would be extremely useful if these activities were to continue
in the future. Mr.

Feedback
from the Indonesian Parliament
Following
the publication on the CDI website of Struggling
to Change: The Indonesian Parliament in an Era of Reformasi -
A report on the structure and operation of the Dewan Perwakilan Rakyat
(DPR), CDI received a most welcome letter from the Secretary-General
of the DPR, Ibu Sitti Nurhajati Daud, in which she said "I
would like to thank you very much for sending me a copy of report
of the research project undertaken by Dr. Stephen Sherlock a couple
of months ago at the Indonesian House of Representatives. My thanks
should also go to CDI that has made such project possible, and to
Dr. Sherlock who has shown a great interest to the work of the Indonesian
House and offered a valuable research. We always welcome and appreciate
highly any effort to provide us with inputs regarding the performance
of the Indonesian House. I believe that only with open mind to any
assessment or constructive critique, the Indonesian House would be
able to improve its performance." |
...we
would love to be included in the mailing list for the CDI newsletter
and any other articles that you think will be helpful for our regional
work on governance.
