[Asia Economy Reporter Moon Chaeseok] The 19th International Anti-Corruption Conference, jointly hosted by the Anti-Corruption and Civil Rights Commission (ACRC), the International Anti-Corruption Conference (IACC), and Transparency International (TI), will be held online via video conference for four days starting from the 1st.

During the conference, over 3,000 participants including ministerial-level representatives from more than 140 countries, civil society members, international organizations, and journalists will share efforts to eradicate corruption in their respective countries and explore strategies to realize a clean society.

Held under the theme "The Future We Will Create 2030: Truth, Trust, Transparency," this conference consists of a total of seven sessions and ten workshops.

Notably, on the 2nd, Michael Sandel, a Harvard University professor famous for his book "Justice: What's the Right Thing to Do?", will appear as a speaker and engage in a dialogue with Professor Kim Sunwook of Soongsil University.

On the first day of the conference, an opening ceremony was held in a studio set up at COEX in the afternoon.

The opening ceremony will be broadcast live from 8:30 PM via the official IACC website (www.iacc2020.kr) and the ACRC YouTube channel.

Chairperson Jeon Hyunhee of the ACRC is scheduled to host the ceremony dressed in a purple hanbok durumagi and holding a mappa, wearing the attire of an amhaeng-eosa (secret royal inspector).

The ACRC stated that Chairperson Jeon will transform into the mascot of the commission and a symbol of integrity and anti-corruption, the amhaeng-eosa, to highlight the significance of hosting the world's largest anti-corruption forum, the IACC, in Korea.

Before the opening ceremony, Chairperson Jeon attended the Cabinet meeting held at the Government Seoul Office earlier that morning wearing the same attire.
