New Delhi: India will hold a two-day BRICS anti-corruption meeting in Telangana from Tuesday.
The meeting is being organised in line with the theme of India's BRICS Presidency, ‘Building for Resilience, Innovation, Cooperation and Sustainability.’
The Department of Personnel and Training (DoPT) will host the second meeting of the BRICS Anti-Corruption Working Group (ACWG) and the second meeting of the BRICS Expert Network on Asset Recovery in Hyderabad, Telangana, on August 4–5, a Personnel Ministry statement said on Monday.
The meeting will be inaugurated by DoPT Secretary Rachna Shah. The event is expected to witness participation from BRICS member countries, along with senior policymakers, experts, practitioners and representatives of anti-corruption and law enforcement agencies.
The Hyderabad meeting builds upon the outcomes of the first BRICS Anti-Corruption Working Group Meeting, held virtually on June 2-3, 2026.
BRICS members will deliberate on strengthening international cooperation for asset recovery, combating cross-border corruption, and enhancing transparency and accountability in governance, the statement said.
The discussions will focus on advancing collaboration through strengthening informal cooperation for tracing fugitive offenders sought in corruption cases and supporting extradition proceedings; enhancing information-sharing and operational cooperation through the BRICS Expert Network on Asset Recovery; and sharing experiences and good practices in preventing and combating corruption-related risks arising from FinTech, digital assets and emerging digital financial instruments, it said.
A dedicated side event titled ‘Ethical Governance through Innovation and Tech-Driven Systems’ will also be organised on August 5, providing a platform for BRICS members to exchange experiences on technology-enabled governance.
