NACC Collaborates with Public and Private Sectors to Accelerate Thailand’s Accession to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention
On 23 June 2025, the Office of the National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC) convened the first meeting of the Steering Committee on Thailand’s Accession to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention and Membership in the OECD (Meeting No. 1/2025) at the NACC headquarters. The meeting was chaired by Mr. Phattarasak Vannasaeng, NACC Commissioner, and attended by representatives from 26 relevant public and private sector organizations. These included the Office of the National Economic and Social Development Council (NESDC), Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Office of the Council of State, Office of the Judiciary, Office of the Attorney General, Thai Private Sector Collective Action Against Corruption (CAC), Thai Institute of Directors Association (IOD), and Joint Foreign Chambers of Commerce in Thailand (JFCCT).
This inaugural meeting aimed to foster a common understanding of Thailand’s roadmap and overall strategy for pursuing OECD membership. The meeting was honored by the participation of Mr. Wanchat Suwankitti, Deputy Secretary-General of NESDC, and Ms. Rujikorn Saengchantr, Director-General of the Department of International Economic Affairs, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, both of whom provided valuable insights.
The meeting also included an introductory presentation on the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (OECD Anti-Bribery Convention), including its requirements and the accession process. Discussions were held on the need for inter-agency cooperation in providing information for the development of Thailand’s Initial Memorandum (IM), which forms part of the country’s self-assessment under the OECD membership roadmap. Moving forward, the NACC will closely coordinate with relevant agencies to accelerate Thailand’s accession to the OECD Anti-Bribery Convention.
