The development of an International Financial Centre, together with the establishment of effective, professional dispute resolution mechanisms aligned with international standards, is essential to fostering a favourable investment and business environment. Commercial mediation and arbitration, with their flexibility and ability to accommodate the needs of the parties, are dispute resolution mechanisms that warrant further study and promotion in this context.
To facilitate the exchange of experience and discussion of recommendations for commercial dispute resolution, the Vietnam International Commercial Mediation Centre (VICMC), in collaboration with the VIFCA Arbitration Centre under the International Financial Centre in Vietnam (VIFCA), the University of Economics – The University of Danang (DUE), the Da Nang Bar Association, and Association pour la Coopération Juriôiue Europe Vietnam (ACJEV), is organising the workshop entitled “Mediation and Arbitration in Commercial Dispute Resolution: Recommendations for the International Financial Centre in Da Nang.”
