Some 80 representatives from prosecution authorities from China and the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) member states attended the 15th China-ASEAN Prosecutors-General Conference held in Hong Kong. The three-day conference this year was focused on dealing with money laundering and corruption. Secretary for Justice Paul Lam said given the fact that Hong Kong was given the chance to organise this annual event, shows the trust and confidence Beijing and ASEAN member states have in the city. He added that Hong Kong will spare no effort in strengthening its co-operation with ASEAN countries on addressing and combatting transnational crimes. “I am hoping that Hong Kong will take the lead to organise more training sessions, or knowledge or experience sharing sessions to enable friends coming from both the Mainland and ASEAN countries to have a better understanding as to how to tackle transnational crimes,” he said. Those attending the event acknowledged the need for closer co-operation when it comes to tackling international crimes and lauded the conference for being a great platform for exchanging ideas. A representative from Laos agreed that communication and exchanging experiences are crucial regarding co-operation in tackling such crimes. The country’s Supreme People's Procuracy International Cooperation Bureau Deputy Director Somboun Soukthavi said Laos and Hong Kong have agreed to hold bilingual meetings to foster enhanced co-operation. Indonesian Deputy Attorney General for Civil & State Administrative Affairs R Narendra Jatna noted that China, including Hong Kong and Macau, and ASEAN countries share the same goal of countering transnational crimes, making the conference a great opportunity to boost co-operation. Thailand’s Department of Minburi Criminal Litigation Deputy Director General Charern Tanchatchawan, on the other hand, was interested in the topic of human trafficking. He mentioned a case where a Chinese citizen was being lured to Thailand and expressed concerns that these kinds of cases may affect tourism in Thailand. Representatives from different jurisdictions also expressed their concerns regarding technology used in crimes and hope to learn from others' experience in tackling such issues. Additionally, Malaysian Attorney General Tan Sri Mohd Dusuki bin Mokhtar and Philippine Prosecutor General Richard Anthony D Fadullon highlighted the challenges posed by technology in transnational crimes. They both agreed that closer co-operation is the key to fighting such problems.
