Singapore shares cyber crime prevention experience

Speaking at an April 13 ministerial meeting on fighting computer crime prevention in Singapore under the framework of his official visit to the country, Quang stressed that in addition to factors threatening traditional security, cyber crimes regularly occurs day-to-day, requiring each country to devise proper responses, solutions and effective coordination methods. Global polices, particularly Interpol must closely adhere to coordinate through bilateral and multilateral channels.

The Vietnam Ministry of Public Security has asked Interpol to adopt flexible policies mechanisms to support law enforcement agencies of member countries to improve the efficiency of prevention and fighting cyber crime, especially transnational crime.

Participants at the meeting echoed Quang’s views, as saying cyber crime threatens all countries, demanding closer coordination among law enforcement agencies to battle against this kind of crime through Interpol coordination mechanisms.
