India has called for closer cooperation among BRICS member countries to strengthen efforts against corruption, economic crime, and the cross-border movement of illicit funds, during the second meeting of the two-day BRICS Anti-Corruption Working Group (ACWG) began in Hyderabad on Tuesday.
Speaking at the second meeting of the BRICS Anti-Corruption Working Group (ACWG) in Hyderabad, Secretary of India's Department of Personnel and Training, Rachna Shah, said corruption remains a major obstacle to sustainable and inclusive development.
"No country is immune to the challenge of corruption, and no country can overcome it alone," Shah said.
Highlighting the issue of fugitive economic offenders, she stressed the need to ensure that no country becomes a safe haven for individuals involved in financial crimes.
Shah called on BRICS members to strengthen cooperation in tracing fugitives, facilitating extradition, recovering stolen assets, and closing legal loopholes that enable criminals and illicit funds to move across borders.
She urged member states to work together to deliver concrete outcomes by enhancing international cooperation in the investigation and extradition of individuals accused of corruption.
