He said that his government had come into power with a mandate to act against financial crimes and end corruption in the country.
Money stolen from poor and underdeveloped countries should be returned, he demanded.
Imran Khan urged the United Nations to take steps against the illegal transfer of money globally and said that without effective steps being taken, a gap between the poor and rich will further grow globally.
