ISLAMABAD: The National Accountability Bureau (NAB) has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with China to enhance cooperation in eradication of corruption.
Under the MoU, Pakistan and China will oversee transparency in the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) projects in Pakistan. According to a NAB’s report, the bureau’s anti-corruption strategy has started yielding positive results, which have been acknowledged by the PILDAT, Transparency International and the World Economic Forum. The report says that the NAB has established 42,000 character building societies (CBSs) to aware youth about ill effects of corruption, besides rationalising the workload.
