Lieutenant General, Associate Professor, Dr. Hoang Phuoc Thuan - Director of the Department of Cyber ​​Security, Ministry of Public Security, informed about the basic content and some issues attracting public attention.

Emphasizing the urgency of the Law on Cyber ​​Security, the Director of the Department of Cyber ​​Security stated that the characteristics of cyberspace are anonymous and spread quickly, so this is a fertile ground for hostile and opposing subjects to use a lot. Meanwhile, the national potential for cyber security is still not strong enough to face increasingly large-scale and high-intensity attacks. Therefore, promulgating the Law on Cyber ​​Security is a strategy to protect the Fatherland in cyberspace.

The Law has 7 chapters and 43 articles to create a strict legal corridor to protect national information, rights and legality, and stipulates the contents, measures and forms to prevent, stop, combat and handle acts in cyberspace.

Lieutenant General Hoang Phuoc Thuan also explained issues of public concern such as: The Law on Cyber ​​Security does not prohibit internet users from accessing Facebook, Google, and Youtube; the Law's data storage regulations do not hinder or cause Facebook and Google to withdraw from Vietnam; providing personal information to serve the investigation and handling of law violations; the Law on Cyber ​​Security does not create special benefits for any country...

At the conference, the reporters also heard leaders of the Ministry of Education and Training inform about the outstanding results of the National High School Exam and university and college admissions for the 2018-2019 school year, the issues and solutions in the coming time.

Regarding propaganda orientation in July, the Central Propaganda Department proposed focusing on propagating Resolutions of the 6th and 7th Central Committees; stepping up propaganda, refuting the false arguments of hostile elements, contributing to stabilizing security and order.

Provincial and Municipal Party Committees should promote their teams of reporters and propagandists to orient information, especially proactively using social networks such as Facebook to reach out to public opinion. At the same time, they should combine dialogue and exchange to promptly grasp people's thoughts.

The Central Propaganda Department also proposed to disseminate the results of the country's socio-economic situation in the first 6 months of 2018.
