Under the agreement, the two sides will create a binational digital entity to promote technological development that is mutually beneficial, transparent, clean, trusted and free from authoritarian interference, the MOFA added.
The MOU on cybersecurity cooperation was concluded by Minister of Digital Affairs Lin Yi-jing and Ramírez to promote policy exchanges, share cybersecurity threat intelligence and foster talent cultivation in order to enhance the two allies’ digital resilience and capacities to respond to emerging security attacks.
Signed by Minister of Justice Cheng Ming-chien and Ramírez, the agreement on judicial cooperation will see both sides team up to crack down on transnational crime and uphold democracy and the rule of law to ensure the security of both societies, the MOFA added.
