Namibia reaffirmed its commitment to tackling cybercrime by signing the UN Convention Against Cybercrime in Hanoi, Vietnam.
This move, which was taken alongside 64 other countries, is part of a global effort to strengthen international cooperation in preventing, detecting, and punishing cyber crime.
The accord is viewed as an important step towards developing a framework for mutual legal assistance and capacity building to combat the growing menace of cyber crime.
Emma Theofelus, Namibia's minister of information and communication technology, stated that Namibia has entered the international stage with conviction and desire to address the growing threat of cyber crime.
“We come ready to partner with all nations of goodwill to build a safer, more secure, and more just digital world — united for the common good of humanity,” Theofelus said as she addressed delegates.
The meeting in Vietnam sought to encourage international cooperation in combating specific crimes committed using information and communication technology systems, as well as the sharing of electronic evidence in the case of major crimes.
