Mainland's National Prosecutors College head visits ICAC

2002-10-12

ICAC Commissioner, Mr Ambrose Lee Siu-kwong, met with Dr Sun Qian, President of the National Prosecutors College (the “College”), to explore further cooperation between the ICAC and the College on training.

Mr Lee said Dr Sun's first visit to the ICAC had fostered mutual understanding of each other's work and provided an opportunity for exchanging views on training.

“The Commission is committed to upgrading the professional knowledge and skills of its investigators to cope with challenges arising from rapid advances in information technology and social and economic changes,” said Mr Lee.

Last year, as part of its Chief Investigator Command Course, the ICAC arranged participants to pay a one-week study visit to the College and the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP) in Beijing.

Two senior officials from the Anti-Corruption Bureau of Beijing Municipal People’s Procuratorate and Hebei Provincial People’s Procuratorate were also amongst the participants of the command course.

The College is directly under SPP and is responsible for training Mainland’s Chief and Senior Procurators. More than 50,000 procurators had received training since the establishment of the College in 1989.

Dr Sun said the College was committed to upgrading the quality and ability of procurators through training.

ICAC officers had previously conducted talks at the College, said Dr Sun, adding that his visit was conducive to enhancing communication and exploring further co-operation between the two parties.

Apart from touring various facilities of the ICAC, Dr Sun was also briefed by heads of the Commission’s three departments –'96 Head of Operations Mr Tony Kwok Man-wai, Director of Corruption Prevention Mr Thomas Chan Chi-sun and Director of Community Relations Mrs Susan Mak Lok Suet-ling on the territory’s anti-corruption work.

Dr Sun also conducted a talk for ICAC officers on the Mainland’s procuratorate system and the judicial reforms.

Apart from the ICAC, Dr Sun also visited other policy bureaux and government departments during his six-day visit to Hong Kong.
