Mongolian anti-corruption authorities on Monday said they are ready to expand cooperation with Chinese counterparts to fight corruption.

The Mongolian Anti-Corruption Agency said in a statement that the two sides will broaden cooperation on corruption prevention measures, including exchanging information and providing technical assistance under the framework of the UN Convention Against Corruption.

The joint efforts will be underlined in a memorandum of understanding the Mongolian agency is expected to sign later this week with a visiting Chinese delegation of anti-corruption officials and experts headed by Qu Wanxiang, deputy director of the National Bureau of Corruption Prevention of China.

The Mongolian and Chinese anti-corruption authorities set up working contact in 2008, and Mongolian anti-corruption officials visited China in 2009.
