Addressing the plenary session, Vietnam’s Minister of Public Security General To Lam underlined the need to step up multilateral co-operation within such frameworks as the International Criminal Police Organization (Interpol), the European Union Agency for Law Enforcement Cooperation (Europol), the ASEAN National Police (Aseanpol), and other mechanisms.
This should be done as part to both regulate and support countries in ensuring cyber security, whilst preventing, combating, and handling cybercrime and transnational crime, he said.
Vietnam wishes to further exchange experience and initiatives with partners and international friends in crime prevention and control, and protecting national sovereignty in cyberspace, Lam added.
On Tuesday, Minister To Lam held a bilateral meeting with Russia's Security Council Secretary Nikolai Patrushev, during which they shared their desire to promote dialogues and collaboration between law enforcement forces of the two nations.
