H.E. Mr. Klanarong Chanthick and other members of the delegation referred to IACA’s activities which are of particular interest to Thailand. In turn, they were briefed by Mr. Jaroslaw, Pietrusiewicz, Officer-in-Charge of the Academy, and representatives of its various departments on developments and programmes on offer at IACA.

Prospects for further enhancing cooperation between the two partners in areas of education, training, capacity-building, and research were explored during the meeting. Both sides agreed to continue their dialogue focusing on areas where joint activities are possible and where IACA could provide further support to anti-corruption efforts in Thailand.

Thailand has been a long-standing partner of IACA since becoming a Party in 2011.
