Under the framework of the MoU, the ICAC and the Integrity Authority of Hungary would strengthen exchanges about anti-corruption experience, conduct seminars, conferences and/or workshops for sharing graft fighting experience, organise joint initiatives to promote integrity in the public and private sectors, and provide assistance in relation to corruption prevention. Such a workshop has already taken place at the Integrity Authority’s Budapest headquarters this spring.
