Hong Kong’s Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) is hosting a professional anti-corruption training programme for officials from Saudi Arabia’s Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority, known as Nazaha. According to the announcement, 60 anti-graft personnel from Saudi Arabia traveled to Hong Kong for the 10-day course.
The programme is being held at the ICAC’s Hong Kong International Academy Against Corruption. The training highlights Hong Kong’s role in sharing anti-corruption expertise with overseas agencies and reflects growing international cooperation in tackling graft and strengthening integrity systems.
Nazaha’s decision to send a large group of officers to the course points to the scale of its interest in professional development and specialist instruction. While detailed course content was not outlined in the available announcement, the focus is described as professional anti-corruption training for frontline graft fighters.
The exchange also underscores broader ties between Hong Kong and Saudi Arabia in governance and enforcement-related capacity building. By bringing Saudi anti-corruption personnel to Hong Kong, the programme positions the ICAC academy as a platform for cross-border training and institutional collaboration on corruption prevention and investigation.
