The ICAC will strive to align its work with the national development and the implementation of anti-corruption policies, as well as strengthen the anti-corruption collaboration between the Mainland and Hong Kong. Meanwhile, the Academy will set to become a platform for overseas counterparts to learn the latest anti-graft initiatives and development of our country and Hong Kong.
