Ge Xiaoyan, Deputy Prosecutor General of the Supreme People's Procuratorate (SPP), attended the meeting and emphasized that as new forms of corruption and covert corruption continue to emerge, procuratorial work in handling duty-related crimes faces many new challenges. She stressed the urgent need for judicial practitioners and academic experts to collaborate and better serve the overall anti-corruption work.
Ge stressed the need to strengthen case studies and guidance for case handling to unify the principles of law enforcement and judicial practices as well as case handling standards, and ensure accurate punishment against all types of duty-related crimes in accordance with the law, so as to consolidate anti-corruption achievements through efficient and high-quality procuratorial practices.
Furthermore, Ge underscored the importance of strengthening cooperation between procuratorates and academic institutions by establishing a comprehensive collaboration mechanism covering talent cultivation, theoretical research, procuratorial practices, and professional training. She urged efforts to focus on building an independent knowledge system for Chinese procuratorial studies, supported by strengthened theoretical explanations, academic expressions, and systematic frameworks.
