On 4 November 2026, Mr. Bhumivisan Kasemsook, Secretary-General of the Public Sector Anti-Corruption Commission (PACC), participated in a panel discussion entitled “Public-Private Leadership Dialogue” as part of the event “Business Integrity and Collective Action for Thailand’s OECD Journey,” organized by the Thai Private Sector Collective Action Against Corruption (CAC). The event was held at the Professor Sangvian Indaravijaya Auditorium, the Stock Exchange of Thailand, and brought together representatives from government agencies, the private sector, and relevant organizations. The forum provided an opportunity for participants to exchange perspectives and explore approaches to strengthening public–private sector cooperation in preventing and combating corruption, while supporting Thailand’s preparations for accession to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD).

During the panel discussion, the Secretary-General of the PACC highlighted the role of the PACC in advancing public integrity within the framework of OECD standards and principles. He emphasized efforts to enhance transparency, fairness, and accountability in public administration, including strengthening risk management and internal control systems, preventing conflicts of interest, and promoting the use of evidence-based approaches to systematically develop anti-corruption measures. He also underscored the importance of cooperation between the public and private sectors, particularly in utilizing information and practical experiences from businesses to identify corruption risks, analyze challenges, and improve government procedures. These efforts were aimed at reducing unnecessary administrative processes, minimizing excessive discretion, and enhancing the efficiency of public services for citizens and businesses. Furthermore, he emphasized the importance of strengthening cooperation with the CAC network and relevant stakeholders to achieve tangible outcomes that could be effectively monitored and evaluated.

In this regard, the PACC reaffirmed its commitment to translating public integrity standards into practical implementation. The Office emphasized the importance of encouraging government agencies and private sector organizations to jointly develop systemic corruption prevention mechanisms and foster a shared culture of transparency and accountability. Such efforts were expected to serve as an essential foundation for strengthening public and business confidence, while supporting the advancement of good governance in Thailand in alignment with international standards and the country's journey towards OECD membership.
