“Given unpredictable ever changing world situation and Covid-19 pandemic context, massive impact could be seen in economic, social, national defense, security, foreign affairs and life of people in many countries including Vietnam. Non-conventional security issues, including cyber security and protection of national sovereignty in cyber space does matters, especially in countering wrongful views and hostile forces for the building and protection of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam,” Mr. Nghia said.

“Capacity building for cyber space security for ministries and provinces, key infrastructure projects linked with economic groups must be accelerated.
