How to dertermine state secrets and their levels of confidentiality in Vietnam?

Pursuant to Article 2 of the Decree 26/2020/ND-CP stipulating determination of state secrets and confidentiality of state secrets as follows:

- The creator of information included in a state secrets list must request the head of their regulatory body or organization to determine such information as a state secret, level of confidentiality and recipient of this state secret, number of copies to be distributed and whether the container of this state secret may be reproduced and/or photographed in the application for approval or in the notice of confidentiality of the object, location, speech or activity containing the state secret; and protect the state secret during the creation process. A document containing a state secret must specify the recipient, number of copies distributed, creator name and whether reproduction and/or photographing is/are permitted in the recipient section of the document. If it is an electronic document, the creator shall leave a confidentiality marking on the document after it is identified as a state secret and its confidentiality level is determined by the competent person; electronic documents printed for distribution must bear confidentiality markings as per regulations.

- The recipient of information included in a state secrets list but not yet determined as a state secret must report to the head of their regulatory body or organization and deliver the information to the unit with competence in handling. The person assigned to handle such information shall request the competent head of regulatory body or organization to determine such information as a state secret, level of confidentiality and recipient of this state secret, number of copies distributed and whether the container of this state secret may be reproduced and/or photographed in writing. The information received must be protected during the receipt and handling processes.
