Minister Verlinden praised the UAE's leading role in modernizing its justice system, highlighting its advanced model in promoting the rule of law, protecting rights and freedoms, and leveraging cutting-edge technologies in judicial services.

She emphasized the strong judicial ties between Belgium and the UAE, noting ongoing development through expert exchanges, MoUs, and joint workshops supporting the development of modern legal systems.
