Russia prioritised protecting the interests of the millions of Russians who come to the Kingdom of Thailand on holiday against possible corruption and assisting them in difficult situations.

In order to reach these goals, the National Anti-Corruption Commission of Thailand, in addition to its traditional oversight functions, will also facilitate direct cooperation between the heads of law enforcement and other governmental bodies responsible for migration and customs control as well as for tourism, and the Russian Embassy as well as other competent services when examining corresponding applications from Russians.

The partners agreed to promote and protect their common interests at the UN, APEC, ASEAN and OECD forums. Among the pressing issues requiring further cooperation, they identified repatriation of stolen assets and extradition of fugitive corrupt individuals.

Additional measures to step up joint anti-corruption efforts will be adopted in late June 2019 at the meeting of the OECD Working Group on Bribery in International Business Transactions.
