Enforcement plan inked against graft

The APEC Ministerial Meeting has set up a law enforcement cooperation network to crack down on corruption, Foreign Minister Wang Yi said on Saturday.

"With China pushing forward the cause, APEC has heightened its anti-corruption effort this year," Wang, accompanied by Commerce Minister Gao Hucheng, said at a news conference.

Representatives of the APEC economies attending the two-day meeting, which began on Friday, adopted an anti-corruption proclamation and set up a network within APEC to cooperate in law enforcement, thus strengthening cooperation in the Asia-Pacific region to catch economic fugitives and recover stolen assets, Wang said.
