Cross-border cooperation needed in corruption fight

Belt and Road participating countries have pledged to comprehensively expand and improve cooperation on tackling corruption so that they can address fraudulent activities across borders.

The pledge was made in a document released on Wednesday at a sub-forum on creating a "clean Silk Road" on the sidelines of the third Belt and Road Forum for International Cooperation.

The document titled "Achievements and Prospects of Belt and Road Integrity Building" notes that cross-border corruption undermines fairness and justice and threatens the global financial and security order, adding that there is great potential for anti-corruption cooperation among BRI participants.
