Dear Ms Maris Lauri,

Professional Anti-corruption Training in Major Infrastructure Projects

for Countries along the Belt and Road

2nd to 10th September 2024

I am pleased to invite you to send officers to join our Professional Anti-corruption

Training in Major Infrastructure Projects, which will be held in Hong Kong, with a study

tour to the Mainland of China, from 2nd to 10th September 2024.

China launched the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) in 2013 to promote economic

prosperity and cooperation, and strengthen exchanges and mutual learning with different

countries around the world. Among this multifaceted collaboration, large infrastructure

projects play a vital role in economic development. The success of these projects hinges

much on a good integrity system.

This Course aims to assist anti-corruption agencies to ensure that effective

preventive mechanism is in place and the risk of corruption is minimised, so as to contribute

to the sustainable development of the BRI. Through in-depth sharing, discussions, field

studies and mutual exchange, participants will have an invaluable opportunity to enrich

their knowledge and enhance their abilities of combating and preventing corruption in

major infrastructure projects. As a highlight, the Course includes a study tour to the

Mainland of China, in which the participants will get the first-hand experience in China’s

impressive development in infrastructure works and rich experience in managing mega

infrastructure projects.

For interested parties, please complete the attached application form by 12th July 2024.

You may refer to the attached Information Note for more details about the Course. Should

you have any questions or enquiries, please contact Ms Jenny CHAU, Chief Academy

Officer, at (852) 2899 3027 / [email protected] or Ms Hazel WONG, Senior Academy

I look forward to meeting your officers in Hong Kong.
