In Hanoi, the Kazakh delegation signed the United Nations Convention against Cybercrime. The country was represented at the signing ceremony by First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs, Police Major General Bauyrzhan Alenov.
The Convention is aimed at strengthening international cooperation in combating crimes committed using information and communication technologies and at establishing common standards for investigating cybercrimes. It has become the first universal instrument that regulates this area at the global level.
International cooperation
According to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Kazakhstan actively participated in drafting the Convention, contributing proposals to build effective mechanisms for cooperation between countries.
By joining the Convention, Kazakhstan will be able to exchange electronic evidence more efficiently, accelerate the investigation of cross-border cybercrimes, and enhance the protection of citizens from online fraud and cyberattacks.
Developing digital security
The signing of the Convention marks an important step in implementing Kazakhstan’s state policy on digital security and improving the national system for countering cyber threats.
In September 2025, President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev signed amendments aimed at strengthening measures to combat money laundering and the financing of criminal activities. These initiatives form a comprehensive approach to data protection and reinforce Kazakhstan’s position as a responsible participant in the global digital landscape.
