ICAC Commissioner Mr Simon Peh Yun-lu yesterday (January 20) embarked on a visit to Vienna, Austria to address the 10th Annual Conference and General Meeting of the International Association of Anti-Corruption Authorities (IAACA) and to attend its Executive Committee (ExCo) meeting today (January 21).

The conference, themed “15 Years of the United Nations Convention against Corruption: Accomplishments and Prospects”, will be attended by about 300 anti-graft and law enforcement officials and experts around the world.

Mr Peh will report the work progress of IAACA’s Training Committee to members of the Association at the General Meeting tomorrow (January 22) while on Wednesday (January 23), he will deliver a speech at the Annual Conference during a plenary session on public sector integrity.

Mr Peh is currently an ExCo member of the IAACA and Convenor of its Training Committee. He will be accompanied by ICAC’s Principal International Liaison and Training Officer Lawrence Chung Wan-hon during the trip.

The IAACA, of which the Hong Kong ICAC has been a member since 2007, is a non-governmental international organisation set up to promote co-operation in worldwide anti-corruption issues and foster the effective implementation of the United Nations Convention against Corruption.

Mr Peh and Mr Chung will arrive in Hong Kong on Friday (January 25).
