　　Cheng, Ming-Chien, Minister of Justice, pointed out in his remarks that the summit successfully gathered representatives from enterprises, industry associations, and government agencies to focus on issues concerning the industries. This included management mechanisms of public projects, the application of construction methods, and carbon fee collection. The cross-domain interactions between the public and private sectors could help resolve problems facing enterprises, as well as respond to the needs of industries. Apart from imparting more knowledge on anti-corruption work and public construction projects, the summit demonstrated the dedication of parties involved in maintaining high-quality construction services, thereby demonstrating the philosophy of enterprise integrity. The AAC has been tasked by the MOJ to promote the Integrity Platform for Enterprise Services, aiming to use the platform as a communication mechanism with enterprises on diverse anti-corruption issues, thereby strengthening the ethical management of enterprises and their commitment to undertaking social responsibility. The effort can enhance the integrity culture among enterprises, and facilitate public-private partnership, hence deepening the working relationship between the government and the private sector. This, in turn, can culminate in tangible public construction projects and intangible corruption-free culture becoming invaluable assets of the country, and thus elevating the competitiveness of Taiwan as a whole.
