ISLAMABAD (92 News) – Prime Minister (PM) Imran Khan on Wednesday has said that he welcomes US president-elect Joe Biden’s declared intent of a policy targeting dirty money.

In a tweet, the prime minister said, “Developing countries are being impoverished by their corrupt elites who launder money to richer countries and offshore tax havens.”

"I welcome US President elect Biden's declared intent of a policy targeting dirty money. Developing countries are being impoverished by their corrupt elites who launder money to richer countries and offshore tax havens," PM Khan tweeted.

Biden, who as vice president spearheaded former US president Barack Obama administration’s fight against corruption and kleptocracy, has repeatedly vowed to make it a focus as president.
