Hung noted Vietnam has a basic legal framework to protect intellectual property (IP) rights and a national strategy on the development of IP rights, adding that the country joined international agreements on IP protection and raised public awareness of IP rights.
However, how to effectively enforce these laws and to reverse the challenge of copyrights infringement is always a difficult issue, especially in the digital and internet environment, Hung noted.
Ms. Myoeng Su Hyeon, head of the Trade and Cultural Cooperation Department under the South Korea Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, said that Vietnam and her country have many cultural similarities, thus the two countries can exchange copyrights experiences.
