Lieutenant General Pham The Tung, Deputy Minister of Public Security, chaired the international press conference.
The inclusion of the name " Hanoi Convention" in the text of the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime reflects recognition of Vietnam's contributions to the drafting of this document. This demonstrates that hosting the signing ceremony is a concrete step to "affirm its position, show responsibility," and promote the Vietnamese government's cybersecurity initiatives.
The highest level of security deployment is required.
To prepare for this particularly important diplomatic event, the Government has assigned the Ministry of Public Security as the lead agency, coordinating with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant ministries and agencies in the organization.
To prepare for the event, functional units of the Ministry of Public Security closely coordinated with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to submit to the Politburo for approval the "Plan for Organizing the Opening Ceremony of the Convention," establishing a Steering Committee and subcommittees to implement it with a decisive spirit.
Preparations were carried out systematically and effectively, drawing on Vietnam's experience in organizing numerous international conferences, while adhering to the requirements and regulations of the United Nations.
Lieutenant General Pham The Tung, Deputy Minister of Public Security, inspected the organization and preliminary rehearsal of the Convention signing ceremony.
Accordingly, the security and medical arrangements for the signing ceremony required implementation at the highest level (the level of heads of state/leaders of countries), with the goal of ensuring three successes: success in content, success in ensuring security, safety, and respect in protocol and diplomacy; and success in promoting the image, identity, country, and people of Vietnam to international friends.
Regarding security and safety assurance, the Ministry of Public Security has identified key tasks and assigned specific responsibilities to the police forces of more than 30 units and localities; establishing a mechanism for close coordination and cooperation between units.
The police forces of the relevant units and localities have established Steering Committees, issued and promptly implemented plans and measures to ensure security and order, with the overarching goal of proactively preventing, deterring, and neutralizing from an early stage, from afar, and from the grassroots level any factors and risks affecting security and safety throughout the preparation and organization of the Convention signing ceremony; preventing any sudden or unexpected incidents in accordance with the policies and directives of the Party and the State.
Completed the task with flying colors.
At the international press conference announcing the results of the Hanoi Convention signing ceremony, Lieutenant General Pham The Tung, Deputy Minister of Public Security and Head of the Security - Health/Security and Order Subcommittee of the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime, stated that over 2,500 delegates from more than 110 countries, over 100 international, regional, and private organizations, and more than 50 research institutions attended the two-day event.
In addition, the participation of over 400 reporters from 189 domestic and international news agencies helped to spread the event fully and comprehensively to the public.
These figures exceeded expectations, demonstrating the widespread and genuine interest of the international community. The event was also broadcast live on the United Nations website. This was also the first event organized by Vietnam to be fully translated into six of the organization's languages.
Deputy Minister Pham The Tung assessed: The organization and protocol before and during the event were evaluated by the United Nations and international friends as well-organized, professional, respectful, and thoughtful, demonstrating Vietnam's hospitality. Security and order were absolutely ensured.
The success of this event is the result of close and coordinated cooperation, along with the proactive spirit of the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the city of Hanoi, and other relevant ministries and agencies. We can consider this a model of inter-ministerial cooperation in organizing international events.

The signing ceremony of the Convention is just the beginning of a long process to make the Convention a legal framework that all countries participating in cyberspace will implement, especially the very new provisions in the Convention.
According to Major General Le Xuan Minh, Director of the Cyber Security and High-Tech Crime Prevention Department, after the signing ceremony, the Ministry of Public Security will closely coordinate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant ministries and agencies to expedite the ratification process of the Convention, ensuring its conformity with the Vietnamese legal system; at the same time, it will coordinate with relevant United Nations agencies to immediately implement activities related to the Convention's implementation.
"The Ministry of Public Security is committed to continuing to cooperate with the United Nations to promote awareness and enhance the effectiveness of the Convention's implementation. We believe that, with the spirit of international solidarity, no country will be left behind, and we will all work towards a safe, stable, peaceful, and sustainably developing cyberspace," Major General Le Xuan Minh emphasized.
