China Committed to Int'l Cooperation Against Corruption

China has always been committed to international cooperation in fighting against corruption and is ready to push forward the efforts, Justice Minister Zhang Fusen said Saturday at a United Nations conference in Bangkok.

"Chinese law enforcement authorities have long put the priority on anti-corruption and achieved remarkable results in recent years," said Zhang in a speech to the 11th United Nations Crime Prevention and Criminal Justice Congress held in Bangkok.

In a bid to further crack down on corruption and other forms of crime, the Chinese government also reached for international cooperation in related fields, said Zhang.

China has ratified the UN Convention against Transnational Organized Crime and signed the UN Convention against Corruption, signed 71 bilateral justice cooperation instruments with 47 countries, had agreements on extradition with 23 countries and been a member of more than 20 international justice cooperation conventions, according to Zhang.

"We also called on UN member states to speed up their adoption and implementation of the anti-corruption convention and the convention against transnational organized crime," he said. 
 
The Chinese government is ready to use the two instruments as basis for international cooperation in fields of extradition, seeking and returning embezzled assets and cross-border sample collection, he said.

On the domestic level, the legislature authorities are working to draft a law against money laundering, according to Zhang.

How to fight against corruption, transnational organized crime, economic and financial crime and terrorism through international cooperation are major topics being discussed at the UN crime prevention congress, which is being held in Bangkok from April 18 to 25.
