In case Vietnam and Country B have a Agreement on mutual legal assistance in criminal of Vietnam receives a Diplomatic Note from Country B informing and asking for assistance in this criminal case, if  he/she violates Vietnamese administrative or criminal law and then the competent authorities verify, Vietnam would extradited him/her to Country B.
