ICAC Commissioner Dr Timothy Tong Hin-ming has led a delegation to call on Procurator General Mr Cao Jianming of the Supreme People’s Procuratorate (SPP) in Beijing to share the latest integrity building initiatives and exchange views on strategies to strengthen international cooperation in combating corruption.
At the earlier (Wednesday) meeting with Mr Cao, Dr Tong said on the invitation of the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA), the ICAC would share its experience in assets recovery with participants of the Fifth Annual Conference and General Meeting of the IAACA to be held in Morocco in October.
Dedicated teams at the ICAC have been in place to deal with financial investigations and asset recovery.
The Commissioner also noted that the ICAC was tasked with drafting a declaration for the IAACA meeting in October. Commending the professionalism of the draft with views from various anti-graft experts, Mr Cao thanked the ICAC for its keen support to the IAACA.
The Commissioner and Mr Cao also exchanged their views on the work strategies and future developments of the IAACA at the meeting in Beijing.
In addition, upon the IAACA’s appointment, the ICAC will host an “International Anti-Corruption Public Service Announcement Video Competition and Workshop” in early December. The competition aims to raise the international society’s awareness of fighting graft by showcasing anti-corruption videos from across the globe.
Mr Cao also noted that with the increasingly close liaison between the ICAC and the Mainland Procuratorates, a broader cooperation in law enforcement, legal assistance and in particular graft-fighting would bring the relationship of the two parties to new heights.
