A delegation led by Commissioner Against Corruption (CCAC) Ao Ieong Seong visited the Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) of Hong Kong on Tuesday to exchange views on fighting and preventing corruption and promoting integrity through education, according to a CCAC statement that day.
During the visit, Ao Ieong met with ICAC Commissioner Woo Ying-ming and noted that the two sides have long maintained close cooperation in mutual case assistance, intelligence exchange and training, the statement said.
Ao Ieong said that Macau and Hong Kong will continue to strengthen liaison and jointly promote cooperation with other anti-graft agencies in the Guangdong–Hong Kong–Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA) to help further strengthen the concept of integrity in civil society across the region, the statement noted, adding that she also introduced the role of the CCAC Personnel Discipline Monitoring Committee, which analyses and monitors non-criminal complaints against CCAC staff and makes recommendations to the chief executive.
Meanwhile, Woo outlined the ICAC’s work in combating corruption, promoting integrity in civil society and fostering international cooperation, the statement said. He noted that both anti-graft and pro-integrity bodies would continue to work closely together, deepen exchanges and strengthen collaboration with anti-corruption agencies in GBA, according to the statement.
The delegation also visited the Prosecutions Division of Hong Kong’s Department of Justice (DoJ), where they met Director of Public Prosecutions Yang Mei Kei for a briefing on procedures for handling corruption cases, the statement noted.
