VIENNA, Oct 2 (KUNA) -- Kuwait is committed to join international efforts in fighting corruption and share experience with global organizations in the field, according to senior Kuwaiti official.
The statement was made to KUNA by Kuwait's Ambassador to Austria and its Permanent Delegate to the international organizations in Vienna Sadiq Marafi on Monday, before heading to Sharm El-Sheikh in Egypt to take part in the sixth Assembly of Parties (AoP) to the International Anti-Corruption Academy (IACA) held from 2-4 October.
Kuwait is participating in the session for the third time since joining the assembly in 2015, he noted. A delegation from Kuwait Anti-Corruption Authority, headed by Counsellor Abdulrahman Al-Nemash will represent Kuwait in the event, he added.
The meeting will discuss developing the academy's work plan for the upcoming years, said Marafi, adding that IACA, established in 2011, continuously organizes training courses in fighting corruption, including preventing money laundering and smuggling.
Meanwhile, Marafi noted that Kuwait will be the first Arab country to host IACA's third regional training course for the Middle East next December. The first training course was held in Argentina in 2015, while the second was in Uganda in 2016. (end) amq.ag
