Luanda – The cybersecurity area was stressed during the technical meeting of the Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) focal points, held Tuesday in Luanda.
Manuel Lapão, director for cooperation of the CPLP, mentioned the data protection as another area that will deserve the future work of the organization.
Manuel Lapão stated that meeting allowed to understand how the CPLP can fit into the international agenda on communications and what member states can offer in terms of contribution in terms of sharing and cooperation.
According to him, never before have the communications processed at such a high speed as they do today and by increasingly digital and electronic means.
