The seminar, co-hosted by the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) and the Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce in Thailand (JFCCT) on 23 June 2025, at the Swissôtel Bangkok, focused on strengthening cooperation between the public and private sectors in the fight against corruption.
The purpose of the event was to promote dialogue between the NACC and foreign private businesses operating in Thailand, with the aim of fostering greater transparency and accountability. It served as a platform to openly address ongoing corruption issues—such as the solicitation and acceptance of bribes by government officials—and to gather practical recommendations and strategies for improvement. These insights are intended to support the NACC in its role as Thailand’s leading anti-corruption agency.
The seminar featured an open and informative panel discussion on the NACC’s current initiatives and the important work being done to enhance integrity within public sector operations. A strong emphasis was placed on how the private sector can actively contribute to these efforts, highlighting the value of ongoing public-private collaboration.
Topics discussed included:
Key NACC anti-corruption initiatives and policy frameworks
Challenges faced by foreign businesses in dealing with corruption
The private sector’s role in promoting integrity and transparency
Case examples of unethical practices and solicitation
Recommendations for improving enforcement, reporting mechanisms, and cooperation
The event underscored a shared commitment to good governance and the collective responsibility of both sectors in creating a more transparent and accountable business environment in Thailand.
