At the international level, Vietnams successful organization of the Opening Ceremony of the Hanoi Convention on Combating Cybercrime has affirmed Vietnams proactive and responsible role in global cyberspace governance. Digital space is no longer an internal story, but a new international cooperation front.

This shows that Vietnam is opening a completely new development front - where high technology is associated with logistics, transportation, defense and future services. Hien Minh
