In the context of the strong global digital transformation, high-tech crimes and cyber threats becoming common challenges, participating in and accompanying an international cooperation mechanism sponsored by the United Nations helps Vietnam improve its legal, technical capacity and multilateral coordination in investigation, information sharing, data protection and national cybersecurity. This is also the basis for enhancing digital trust and ensuring a safe and transparent economic-investment environment, especially in areas such as e-commerce, digital finance, artificial intelligence or digital government transformation.

According to Dr. Tran Hai Linh, the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime Hanoi (Hanoi Convention) to be signed on October 25 and 26 in Hanoi will be a strategic step, helping Vietnam affirm its proactive and responsible role in the global cybersecurity ecosystem, while contributing to promoting a trustworthy and sustainable cooperation environment, thereby directly serving the goal of building a digital economy, digital society and digital government that the Party and State are persistently pursuing in the new period.

In particular, the Ministry of Public Security plays an important role in contributing to the digital transformation process, innovation and ensuring cyber security. Therefore, strengthening cooperation in these areas with an experienced country like Korea is a practical practice for the coming time.
