He also said that, after being issued, the Ministry of Justice will continue to review such decrees and other related provisions and propose amendments, if necessary.
At the press conference, reporters asked many questions related to the fields under the state management scope of the Ministry of Justice, including state compensation, legal normative document developments, post-review of legal documents and judicial assistance. Leaders of relevant departments of the MOJ directly answered to those questions in a satisfactory manner, thereby helping reporters with more comprehensive and accurate look about the activities of the MOJ./.
