The Arria-formula meeting was held by Vietnam, Indonesia, Belgium, Estonia, and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
The ambassador said protection against the risk of cyber attacks has significant meaning for economic, social, defence, and security.
He emphasized the need to strengthen regional and international cooperation as well as public-private coordination for sharing information, building trust, preventing the risk of conflicts in cyberspace, building common understanding, and strengthening national information technology.
Activities in cyberspace must comply with the UN Charter and international law as well as voluntary and non-binding rules on national responsible behaviour in cyberspace, he added.
