Lavrov commented on the summit convened by the United States on IT security

For more than a decade, the UN has been dealing with the problems that will be considered at the global meeting on cybersecurity convened by the United States, said Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov, RIA Novosti reports.

“It was recently announced that US President Joe Biden is convening a cybersecurity summit this month. It was said that about thirty states are invited, although within the framework of the UN, cybersecurity issues on the Russian initiative and on the initiative of other countries have been discussed for more than a dozen years – almost 20 years”, Lavrov said.

The minister also recalled that the UN recently agreed on a resolution that approved a five-year schedule of a working group open to all UN countries, within which all acute security problems in cyberspace are discussed.
