Russia, US, China, France Hold Secret Talks on Cybersecurity in Paris - Reports

PARIS (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 29th November, 2018) Russian, US, Chinese and French cybersecurity officials have been meeting in secret in Paris to agree rules of conduct in cyberspace, French media reported Thursday.

The closed-door negotiations began Tuesday after months of preparations, the French newspaper L'Opinion cited its sources as saying. Russia's Embassy in Paris did not comment.

The aim is to agree a "peace treaty," the publication said, which would prevent the four powers from clashing in the cyberspace, much like mechanisms used to avoid aerial clashes.

The outlet stressed the talks, held at an undisclosed military site, did not concern fake news, but rather possible situations where the nations' strategic, vital interests could be at stake.
