1. Comments by Cameron and Kerry at the summit

US - Kerry

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry said tens of billions of dollars in stolen money — funds that that could be used for education or building bridges in underdeveloped lands — instead are hidden in banks “in countries including ours.”


"The extremism we see in the world today comes in no small degree from the utter exasperation that people have with the sense that the system is rigged," the top American diplomat said. "And we see this anger manifesting itself in different forms in different elections around the world — including ours."

UK - Cameron:

British Prime Minister David Cameron announced measures, including a public register intended to force companies to name their real owners — a step that British government officials claim will be the first of its kind.

“Why I think this matters so much is that I believe that corruption is the cancer at the heart of so many problems we need to tackle in our world. If we want to see countries escape poverty and become wealthy, we need to tackle corruption,” Cameron said.
