The Ghana Police Service has reaffirmed its commitment to international collaboration in the fight against cybercrime, following the signing of a landmark Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) under the United Nations Convention Against Cybercrime in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Commissioner of Police (COP) Lydia Yaako Donkor, Director-General of the Criminal Investigation Department (CID) of the Ghana Police Service, represented the country at the Signing Ceremony and High-Level Conference.

She was part of a delegation led by the Honourable Minister for Communications, who signed on behalf of the Government of Ghana.

Speaking after her arrival in Hanoi, COP Donkor described the event as a significant milestone in Ghana’s efforts to strengthen global partnerships against digital crime.

“It is an honour to join the delegation from Ghana for this historic event. Together with other global leaders, we are reaffirming our collective commitment to strengthening international cooperation in the fight against cybercrime and ensuring a safer digital space for all,” she said.

COP Donkor emphasized that the Convention would play a critical role in improving access to digital evidence and boosting the operational capacity of law enforcement agencies, including the Ghana Police Service, to investigate and prevent cyber-enabled crimes across borders effectively.

“As the Director-General of the CID, this moment holds deep significance. The Convention will enhance our ability to track, investigate, and prosecute cyber offenders through improved international cooperation and information sharing,” she noted.

The UN Convention Against Cybercrime, also known as the Budapest Plus Convention, seeks to provide a comprehensive international legal framework to address evolving forms of cybercrime, promote cross-border collaboration, and ensure the protection of citizens in the digital age.

Ghana’s participation underscores its growing commitment to digital security, data protection, and global cooperation in safeguarding cyberspace from criminal exploitation.
