Hanoi to host signing of global treaty against cybercrime in 2025

The United Nations General Assembly has selected Hanoi to host the formal signature ceremony of the Convention against Cybercrime in 2025.

It is a landmark global treaty aimed at strengthening international cooperation to combat cybercrime and protect societies from digital threats.

The UN's decision to choose Hanoi as the venue for the signing ceremony marks a significant milestone in Vietnam's multilateral diplomacy and 47 years of partnership between Vietnam and the UN.

This is the first time a location of Vietnam is named and associated with global multilateral treaty which draws much concern from the international community.

It offers a good chance for Vietnam to actively promote multilateralism, lead efforts in shaping global digital governance frameworks, ensure cybersecurity, and safeguard national sovereignty in cyberspace.
