Building Cybersecurity Resilience in Lao PDR: EU CyberNet Completes Strategic Scoping Mission

EU CyberNet concluded strategic scoping mission in Vientiane, Laos this week.

EU CyberNet team engaged in deep, strategic dialogues with the core stakeholders of the Lao cybersecurity and digital governance community to map out future collaboration and bolster regional resilience. The meetings covered several areas of cybersecurity cooperation, including critical information infrastructure protection, incident management, cybersecurity education and awareness raising.

Throughout the week, EU CyberNet held discussions with a diverse range of key national and international agencies and partners, including the Ministry of Technology and Communications & LaoCERT, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Ministry of Finance, the UN Digital Transformation Group, like-minded countries and member states of the European Union, and diverse civil society and international organizations.

EU CyberNet will identify the key priority topics and work to implement activities with Laos in the coming months. We will carefully examine and reflect on the valuable insights, local expertise and information to design a tailored proposal structured to effectively share the EU’s cybersecurity capabilities in the Lao context.

EU CyberNet extends its gratitude to the team at the Delegation of the European Union to Lao PDR.
