Overview of the meeting.

At the meeting, Minister Luong Tam Quang affirmed that Vietnam is committed to fostering a stable, secure and business-friendly legal environment for international technology enterprises, including Google, to invest and do business effectively in the country.

Noting that Vietnam is currently one of the most dynamic and fastest-growing internet markets in Southeast Asia, with over 78 million internet users, of whom approximately 73 million use Google services, Minister Luong Tam Quang said that Vietnam is an attractive and promising destination for leading U.S. tech companies like Google to further expand their investments, digital services and modern technologies.

In the current context of growing cybercrime and legal violations in cyberspace, Minister Luong Tam Quang hoped that Google would continue to invest in Vietnam and make further contributions to the development of science, technology, and innovation in the country.

Regarding bilateral cooperation, the Minister highly appreciated the joint effort between the Ministry of Public Security and Google in launching the public awareness campaign titled “Preventing Online Scams: Safer Together with the Ministry of Public Security and Google”, aimed at raising public awareness and vigilance against cyber fraud.

To strengthen future cooperation, Minister Luong Tam Quang proposed that the two sides expand collaboration in cybersecurity, cybercrime and hi-tech crime prevention and control as well as share information in support of crime prevention and law enforcement efforts in cyberspace.

The Minister encouraged Google to continue assisting Vietnamese police forces in detecting and preventing online scams, such as financial fraud and illegal money transfer, as well as in building capacity of the Ministry’s cybersecurity experts.
