Addressing a high-level debate held by the UN Security Council on Thursday in New York, Ambassador Dang Hoang Giang, Permanent Representative of Vietnam to the UN, affirmed that to address those threats, multi-dimensional approaches and uniform solutions are needed.
The ambassador stressed that the UN plays the key role in strengthening and perfecting international frameworks via such initiatives as the Global Digital Compact and the Convention on Cyber Crime. At the same time, cooperation should be enhanced to raise cyber defence capacity and narrow the gap in information technology among nations.
The Vietnamese representative said that with the adoption of the Law on Cyber Security in 2018, Vietnam is taking a comprehensive approach to dealing with cyber security threats.
Vietnam backs and actively participates in international cooperation in this regard on the basis of respect for national independence and sovereignty, no interference into others’ internal affairs, and sharing of responsibilities in promoting responsible behaviours on the cyberspace, Mr. Giang said.
