On the sidelines of the meetings held by the Conference of the State Parties to the United Nations Convention against

Corruption in Sharm El Sheikh, Minister Hassan Abdel-Shafi Ahmed, the Chairman of the Administrative Control Authority,

met with Mr. Charles Duchaine, the Chairman of the French Anti-Corruption Agency. The meeting addressed the means of 

future cooperation between both sides on issues of mutual concern: preventing and combating corruption, spreading 

awareness about its risks, exchanging experts and experience between both sides, paying

attention to training on modern tools of detecting corruption crimes and financial investigations.

Both sides also agreed that the National Anti-Corruption Academy at the Administrative Control Authority will recruit

experts from the French side to train the staff at counterpart authorities in Africa through the Academy in the light of

Egypt’s concern for disseminating knowledge and exchanging experience and culture among the different African nations.
