Baku: ‘Globally, the fight against corruption, which knows no borders, remains a complex yet essential challenge that requires a joint, coordinated, and resolute approach,’ said Prosecutor General Kamran Aliyev at the opening of the 6th Plenary Meeting of the United Nations Global Operational Network of Anti-Corruption Law Enforcement Authorities – the GlobE Network, APA reports.

According to Azeri-Press News Agency, the Prosecutor General noted that today’s plenary session is a manifestation of this global will. In recent years, Azerbaijan has emerged as an important international center hosting global initiatives. Just last year, Azerbaijan hosted the UN COP29 Climate Conference and the 29th Annual Conference of the International Association of Prosecutors. Several significant events were successfully organized, including a high-level session on the fight of law enforcement agencies against environmental crimes.

As an active member of the GlobE Network, Azerbaijan highly values this platform. This network contributes to strengthening international cooperation, promoting integrity, and jointly combating transnational corruption. The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, particularly its anti-corruption body ‘Nazaha,’ has played an invaluable role in the creation and development of this initiative. The contributions and leadership of Saudi Arabia in this important global endeavor are deeply appreciated.

Together, there is a collective strive to build a more transparent, honest world with confidence in the future. To leave behind a just society and a clear tomorrow for future generations, it is crucial to take one step further in the global fight against corruption.
