"We are yet to announce the steps that we will take together to explore the possibility of cooperation on measures against corruption until the two countries sign an agreement on it," she noted.
According to her, the matter should be confirmed before the government announces it to the public.
Recently, several officials of the Communist Party of China (CPC) paid a visit to Indonesia, but their discussions were largely general, and not specifically about corruption, she noted.
She said that in the future, the CPC officials should follow up on the negotiation regarding joint cooperation efforts to be taken against corruption.
She stated that China has already set up bilateral cooperation on legal affairs, including those on efforts to eradicate corruption with developed countries such as bilateral relations with Australia, the United States, and European countries.
"We have yet to cooperate with the developing countries, so far, although there are examples of corruption cases," remarked Lisa, who is also the director of Beijing Peoples Congress Research Council.
She pointed out that China is cooperating with developed countries that have established well-implemented systems, so that it can imbibe the best practices from them.
In the meantime, several developing countries have already implemented laws and regulations on corruption eradication, but they are still perceived as weak in enforcing the law, she added.
China has several institutions in dealing with corruption cases, including supreme courts and anti-corruption bureaus, she stated, adding that in the future, the country is expected to optimize them into an integrated institution, so that the legal system would become more powerful.(*)
