MOSCOW. Dec 3 (Interfax) - Russia will pass a new law on prosecution that will take into account international experience, the country's Prosecutor General Yury Chaika said.
Chaika held talks with his Saudi counterpart Saud Al-Mojeb in Riyadh on Tuesday, the Russian Prosecutor General's Office said in a statement.
"The prosecutor general of Russia suggested to Saudi prosecutors that they tell in more detail about the powers and workings of the prosecution system in Saudi Arabia. This information is particularly significant, considering that Russia is drafting a new version of the prosecution law and the need to take into account the global positive experience to improve the functioning of the Russian prosecution system," the statement said.
Chaika, for his part, said he was prepared to share the experience of organizing the work of the International Association of Prosecutors' first regional representative office in St. Petersburg.
In April of this year, the two agencies signed a cooperation agreement to share information on the national legal systems and laws and practical experience, and to discuss issues of mutual interest, it said.
"Chaika stressed that he saw today's event as the first important step on the joint path toward practical implementation of the memorandum. For this process to be successful, it is necessary to get a more intimate knowledge of the structure and powers of the prosecution systems of the two states," the statement said.
Chaika invited the foreign colleagues to Russia for a meeting which will focus, among other issues, on providing information security and countering cybercrime.
