In a recent meeting in Ankara, Türkiye and Saudi Arabia have decided to enhance their cooperation in the justice sector through discussions led by Turkish Justice Minister Akın Gürlek and his Saudi counterpart, Walid bin Muhammad Al Samaani. The talks were centered on broadening collaboration in areas such as judicial reforms, legal expertise, and digital justice initiatives.
Both ministers highlighted the significance of strengthening legal frameworks and fostering cooperation to align with Türkiye’s “Century of Türkiye Vision” and Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030. These strategic visions aim to modernize their respective legal systems and promote sustainable development within each nation. The discussions underscored a shared commitment to improving their judicial infrastructures.
Türkiye offered to share its expertise in judicial digitalization, particularly through its National Judiciary Informatics System (UYAP). This system incorporates advanced technologies like artificial intelligence in legal services, cybersecurity measures, and alternative dispute resolution mechanisms. By exchanging knowledge in these areas, both countries aim to enhance judicial efficiency and cooperation.
The agreement between the two ministers also involves increasing official exchanges and fostering direct collaboration among legal professionals. This initiative is expected to further strengthen bilateral relations and ensure both nations have access to efficient and modern justice systems. The focus on professional exchanges is intended to build a foundation for continuous improvement and innovation in legal practices.
