Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Constitutional Court (MK) will cooperate with counterparts in three countries, namely Turkey, Morocco and Hungary, an MK executive said.

"Indonesia, Turkey, Morocco and Hungary will sign memorandums of understanding (MoUs) on July 12, 2010," MK Secretary General Janedjri M Gaffar said here on Thursday.

Janedjri said the cooperation would emphasize capacity building and institutional development that would be carried out in the form of exchange of officials, apprentices and education.

He hoped the cooperation would develop into wider international cooperation networks for Indonesia in the framework of promoting development in the fields of law, constitutional affairs, democracy and human rights.

The signing of the MoUs would be carried out on July 12-15, 2010 witnessed by the chiefs of the MKs of the respective counties.

The MoUs would be signed coinciding with a Southeast Asian constitutional judges conference and the declaration of the formation of the Southeast Asian Constitutional Court Association.

The establishment of the association would be formalized through the reading of the Jakarta Declaration which would be carried out by eight of nine founding countries, namely Indonesia, the Philippines, South Korea, Malaysia, Mongolia, Thailand and Uzbekistan. (*)
