In his remarks, the President emphasized that Vietnam hosting the signing ceremony of the United Nations Convention on Countering Cybercrime marks a significant milestone as this is the first time that Vietnam has hosted the signing of a UN convention. This event takes place at a time when combating cybercrime is a matter of particular global concern.
He noted that relevant agencies must ensure thorough preparation in terms of scenarios, agenda, planning, timelines, and implementation quality. He requested that units promptly address any arising issues to ensure the ceremony’s success, allowing international friends to experience the friendliness and hospitality of the Vietnamese people. 

The Steering Committee for the event reported that as of Tuesday, 93 delegations led by high-ranking leaders and ministers from various countries had confirmed their participation, with over 1,000 delegates and media representatives.

The Ministry of Public Security and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs have closely coordinated with the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) in building the agenda for the signing ceremony, preparing several side activities, including eight high-level side events and seminars led by leaders from relevant Vietnamese ministries and UNODC, 38 panel discussions, and over 20 exhibition booths.
