Research center on int'l anti-graft cooperation established in Beijing

Xinhua, September 24, 2016 Adjust font size:

The G20 research center on anti-corruption, fugitive repatriation and asset recovery was established Friday in Beijing as part of efforts to boost international anti-corruption cooperation, according to an official statement.

The move aims to implement and promote deals reached at the G20 summit held earlier this month in China's eastern city of Hangzhou, where G20 leaders unanimously endorsed China's initiative to establish such a center in the country.

The center, seated at Beijing Normal University, will be the first of its kind for G20 members to carry out research, it said.

It will create a platform for G20 members to exchange experience through academic research and training, provide intellectual support for China's participation in global anti-corruption cooperation and promote a new international anti-corruption order, it added.

Zhao Hongzhu, a member of the Secretariat of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and deputy secretary of the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, attended the inauguration.

Officials from the embassies of G20 member countries in China and representatives of international organizations also attended, it added. Endi
