"The launch of the

International Anti-Corruption Academy is a milestone

in the efforts of the International community to fight corruption.

It has great potential to advance the goals of the landmark

United Nations Convention against Corruption.

If we are serious about tackling corruption,

we will use the Academy to the fullest. I pledge my full support to the

Academy, and urge you all to do your part.“
