The Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and the Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission of Thailand (NACC) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Wednesday (25th) at the ICAC Headquarters. Both the ICAC and the NACC agreed on several areas of cooperation, including sharing information and experience in law enforcement, investigation, fugitive apprehension, asset recovery and corruption prevention; exchanging information on corruption trends and risks in both jurisdictions; organizing training programmes, seminars, and lectures to enhance the skills and knowledge of graft fighters; and fostering mutual visits and dialogue meetings to enhance cooperation and understanding.The NACC has always been ICAC’s important graft fighting partner in the Asia-Pacific region, ICAC Commissioner Woo Ying-ming said. Over the years, the two organizations cooperated closely in ICAC's anti-corruption work. Given the geopolitical situation in recent years, anti-corruption agencies may face different challenges and should join hands together to strengthen the information exchange to enhance graft-fighting abilities. The signing of MoU will allow for a more effectively and systematically exchange in law enforcement and anti-corruption, jointly combating corruption locally and in the Asia-Pacific region, and further promoting a culture of integrity, creating mutual benefit and win-win situation for both organizations.
