               the  legal,  institutional,  and research  fields.  “This MoU  lays a solid foundation  for  bilateral

               cooperation  in legal training,  legislative development,  and enhancing  the legal  system and
               institutional  work.  Our  collaboration  with AUE  reflects  a mutual commitment to developing

               shared  visions  and methodologies that  enrich legal knowledge. The  SLC is dedicated  and

               committed to building partnerships with the leading educational and academic institutions in the
