Forming a humane internet culture, based on respect and tolerance

The discussion session attracted the participation of representatives from many countries, international organizations and cybersecurity experts.

The event is a forum for all parties to affirm their global commitment to building a safe, humane and inclusive cyberspace – where all women and children are respected, protected and empowered to develop.

Speaking at the seminar, Deputy Minister of Health Nguyen Tri Thuc emphasized Vietnam's strong determination to protect the most vulnerable groups in the digital age.

“We cannot let any child suffer because of technology – which was born to serve humanity,” Deputy Minister Nguyen Tri Thuc affirmed.

According to him, the internet is bringing unprecedented opportunities for learning, connection and creativity to the young generation. However, along with that is a "dark area" containing many risks such as abuse, online bullying, fraud, personal data leakage and harmful content.

“Seemingly harmless clicks can leave lasting psychological scars on a child. We need to act before it is too late,” he added.

To respond to these challenges, Vietnam has built a comprehensive legal system, including the Law on Children, the Law on Cyber Security, the Law on Network Information Security, the Law on Personal Data Protection, and many decrees and national action programs to concretize international commitments.

Strengthen communication campaign

At the discussion session, Deputy Minister Nguyen Tri Thuc also said that education and digital capacity building for children, parents and teachers should receive special attention.

Communication campaigns such as “Not alone – together online safety”, “Digital vaccine” or the contest “Students with information security” have contributed to spreading knowledge, forming a humane Internet culture, with respect and tolerance as the foundation.

Vietnam has also established a Child Protection and Rescue Network on the Internet and an Online Child Protection Club, closely connected with Hotline 111 to receive and quickly handle related cases.

Along with that, cyber security forces and technology businesses are coordinating to deploy technical measures to prevent and remove harmful content, building a healthy and safe cyberspace.

Not only limited to the national scope, Vietnam also strengthens international cooperation with organizations such as INTERPOL and many global partners in training, data and technology sharing, towards the goal of effectively preventing cross-border cybercrime.

“We believe that only solidarity and joint action can help the world build a safe, humane and inclusive cyberspace – where all women and children are respected, protected and empowered to develop,” Deputy Minister Nguyen Tri Thuc emphasized.
