Viêt Nam positions itself as a bridge-builder in global fight against cybercrime

Viêt Nam is entering a new era of the nation’s rise ~ a period of advancement, modernisation and prosperity.

As General Secretary T6 Lam has emphasised, what matters most is keeping the country ‘peaceful inside and stable outside,’ maintaining a stable environment so that all national resources can be channelled into development.

Yet traditional and nontraditional security threats continue to evolve. Among them, cybercrime has become one of the most dangerous, putting national sovereignty and global stability at risk. Confronting it requires coordinated cooperation at the national and international levels, bringing together governments, organisations and citizens in a shared global effort.

It was in this context that, in 2019, the United Nations launched the drafting of the Convention against Cybercrime ~ the first comprehensive UN instrument in this field.

From the outset, Viet Nam gave its full support to this initiative, recognising the need for a global framework to ensure security and accountability in cyberspace.

Between 2022 and 2024, under authorisation from the State President, the Governments inter-ministerial delegation, with the Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs at its core, actively participated in all eight rounds of negotiations.
