China News Service, Beijing, October 23. The Group of Twenty (G20) first anti-corruption ministerial meeting was held on the 22nd in the form of remote video.
Li Shulei, deputy secretary of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and deputy director of the State Supervision Commission, revealed at the meeting that from January to August this year, the "Skynet 2020" operation to recover stolen goods recovered a total of 799 people, including 152 national staff.
Li Shulei positively evaluated the important role played by the G20 anti-corruption cooperation in global corruption governance, and called on all parties to coordinate anti-corruption work in the prevention and control of the epidemic in light of the new situation of the new crown epidemic, take effective measures to prevent and combat corruption, and effectively strengthen anti-corruption pursuits. International cooperation in fleeing and recovering stolen goods refuses to provide a safe haven for corrupt personnel and assets.
Participating parties exchanged in-depth views on playing the leading role of the G20 and promoting international anti-corruption cooperation.
The meeting adopted the "Communiqué of the G20 Anti-Corruption Ministerial Meeting", calling on all parties in the G20 to deepen international anti-corruption cooperation in the pursuit of fleeing and recovering stolen goods, strengthen anti-corruption efforts in response to the epidemic, and jointly create a clean business environment.
The "Communiqué" emphasized that G20 countries will uphold a zero tolerance attitude, create a zero loophole system, carry out zero obstacle actions, and continue to play a leading role in global anti-corruption efforts.
The G20 established an anti-corruption working group in 2010 and officially included anti-corruption on the cooperation agenda.
The working group has become one of the main anti-corruption multilateral cooperation mechanisms.
This year marks the tenth anniversary of the founding of the working group. All parties of the G20 agreed to convene the first anti-corruption ministerial meeting to raise the level of G20 anti-corruption cooperation, further build political consensus, and accumulate results for the G20 Leaders Summit held in November.
