In addition to these efforts, Denmark – together with the European Union and
its member States – also contributes to increasing the cyberresilience of developing
countries through a number of tailored programmes and initiatives, which are aimed
at developing skills and capacities in terms of addressing cyberincidents as well as
facilitating the exchange of best practices.
Denmark joins the European Union and its member States in recognizing that
the promotion of a more resilient digital infrastructure will contribute to a more secure
and stable cyberspace and encourages all relevant actors to engage in capacity building in this regard and further call for stronger cooperation with key international
partners and organizations to support capacity-building in third countries.
Moreover, Denmark also supports the establishment of a United Nations
mechanism to foster capacity-building programmes tailored to the needs identified by
beneficiary States, such as the programme of action, and identifying mechanisms that
facilitate the engagement of all stakeholders in implementing the framework of
responsible behaviour.
