Dear leaders of nations and all international friends!

1. On behalf of the State and people of Vietnam, I warmly welcome you to Hanoi - the City for Peace - to attend the signing ceremony of the "United Nations Convention against Cybercrime", with the theme "Combating Cybercrime - Sharing Responsibility - Looking Forward" on October 25 and 26, 2025.

2. In the digital age, cybercrime is not only a challenge for a single country, but also a global threat, threatening security, political stability, economy and social life. Vietnam always considers fighting cybercrime as one of the priorities in national security policy, and actively participates with the international community in the fight against cybercrime.

Vietnam is well aware of the borderless nature of cyberspace and that to effectively combat cybercrime, it must go through solidarity, cooperation between nations and the rule of law.

The Convention sets out the legal framework for international cooperation in the fight against cybercrime, ensuring that member countries, especially developing and vulnerable countries, are supported and have enhanced capacity to deal with this type of crime.

The United Nations General Assembly's adoption of the Convention against Cybercrime (December 2024) and the signing ceremony in Hanoi are vivid proof of the sense of responsibility of nations in protecting cyberspace - the common property of all mankind.

We hope that this event will not only be a legal procedure, but also a platform to promote dialogue, share experiences, strengthen partnerships between governments, international organizations, the private sector and become a forum to promote the implementation of the United Nations Convention and global cooperation in combating cybercrime.

3. I am confident that with the participation and commitment of countries, the signing ceremony of the Convention in Hanoi will become a historic milestone, affirming the value of multilateralism with the United Nations at the center, sending a strong message of our determination to fight cybercrime and build a world of peace, justice and the rule of law, for the benefit of today's and future generations.

4. On this important occasion, on behalf of the State and people of Vietnam, I would like to sincerely thank the countries, international organizations and friends from all over the world who have always accompanied and supported Vietnam.

Thank you very much and see you in Hanoi.
