Fiji continues to receive international recognition for its success in the implementation of anti-corruption policies and programmes.
As a result, Fiji is receiving more opportunities for training in anti corruption and related areas.
A team that will be travelling to Timor Leste to review their compliance with the provisions of the United Nations Conventions against Corruption (UNCAC) has left for Vienna for training the Attorney General Aiyaz Sayed - Khaiyum said today.
Fiji was earlier this year selected to carry out the review by a delegation made up of lawyers and prosecutors from the United States of America and Bangladesh who were in the country with members of the UN Office on Drugs and Crime Secretariat.
Mr. Sayed-Khaiyum said the invite to review Timor Leste was a milestone and sent the signal to the international community that the Government was committed to eradicating systematic corruption.
"This is part of the capacity building for our officers and their training will be very beneficial also to us here locally," he said.
The review process would be conducted later in the year.
Mr Sayed-Khaiyum said this was the first time Fiji was invited to review another country.
He said it meant Fiji could also build on internal capacities because certain personnel had to be trained before they could go and review another country.
But as part of this review during the last two years, some officers have basic knowledge of conducting review and reporting and some have become experts in areas of law pertaining to corruption, abuse of office and various international obligations, and cooperation with other countries, he added.
