In late February 2025, Mr Danny Woo, President of IAACA and Commissioner of ICAC, Hong Kong, China, led a delegation to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates to strengthen relationships in the region in the ongoing fight against corruption.

During his trip, Mr Woo met with IAACA’s Executive Committee Member H.E. Mazin Al-Kahmous, President of the Oversight and Anti-Corruption Authority (Nazaha) of Saudi Arabia to discuss further collaborations. The delegation also had meetings with H.E. Humaid Obaid Abushibs, Chairman of the UAE Accountability Authority (UAEAA), and H.E. Mohamed Saeed Al Qubaisi, Director General of the Abu Dhabi Accountability Authority, to strengthen our relationship with these IAACA member authorities. Additionally, Mr Woo and H.E. Mr Abushibs signed a Memorandum of Understanding between the ICAC and the UAEAA to enhance the bilateral anti-graft collaboration.

The mission has solidified IAACA’s partnerships with our allies in the Middle East. IAACA will continue to work with anti-corruption agencies globally, taking a leading role in the fight against corruption.
