He highlighted the ICT development in Vietnam, saying that the Government of Vietnam identified that sector as a key driving force for national development and modernisation, thus enhancing the nation’s competitiveness and international integration.

The Ministry of Information and Communications has worked with relevant bodies to complete the legal corridor on information security while cooperating with organisations, associations and enterprises and community to ensure sustainable development of information security, Tuan said.

For his part, Bohussalav Chalupa, a member of the Czech Parliament, said the Czech Republic is willing to share with Vietnam its experience in the sector, including procedures to build legal documents and enhance education-training related to information security.
