ICAC has long recognised the importance of international cooperation in the fight against corruption. The strategy of the International Cooperation Branch is to:
- Enhance collaboration with international counterparts to advance the global fight against corruption and sustain ICAC as the forerunner in the anti-corruption cause;
- Engage anti-corruption agencies (ACAs) worldwide in preventing and fighting corruption to foster the implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption (UNCAC) and keep fighting corruption a common front; and
- Encourage capacity building, knowledge and experience sharing through various platforms, including the Hong Kong International Academy Against Corruption and the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities, to fulfil ICAC's obligations under UNCAC and promote in the international community Hong Kong's integrity environment, robust anti-corruption regime and strong rule of law.
