On the afternoon of November 6, during the regular press conference of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, in response to a journalist's request for Vietnam's reaction to concerns that the country might become a "hotspot" for online fraud activities, Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang emphasized: “We do not comment on speculative questions.”
Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang further informed that, in light of the complex developments of online fraud and cybercrime, Vietnam has completed the legal framework for telecommunications and cybersecurity management to create effective tools to prevent violations in cyberspace, aiming for a safe and transparent online environment for the public.
“Vietnam has clearly demonstrated its commitment to joining hands with the United Nations and member countries to combat the increasingly complex cybercrime through the Hanoi Convention signing ceremony and recent high-level conferences. Both Vietnamese and international media have reported and commented on Vietnam's proactive, pioneering, and committed role in this activity,” Spokesperson Pham Thu Hang stated.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has instructed Vietnamese representative missions abroad to closely monitor the situation and prepare necessary plans, coordinating closely with domestic and local agencies to promptly implement citizen protection measures.
