Workshop on Enforcement of the Law on Electronic Transactions: Accelerating Operation with the Strategy of Digital Signature and Secure Electronic Contracts

Electronic contracts have long been recognized as having the same legal value as paper contracts, clearly stipulated in the Law on Electronic Transactions No. 51/2005/QH11, Decree No. 52/2013/ND-CP on e-commerce, Decree No. 130/2018 on digital signatures and digital signature certification services.

- The Law on Electronic Transactions 2023 has 10 new changes that benefit businesses when applying Electronic Contracts and Digital Signatures.

- Green-ticked electronic contracts reduce legal risks while still ensuring business integrity, and are applied in operations such as sales, services, construction, credit, and insurance.
