美国国务卿克里星期一开始对欧洲进行为期4天的访问,其间将会见几个国家的官员,并出席反腐峰会。

定于星期四召开的反腐峰会将由英国首相卡梅伦主持,阿富汗、哥伦比亚和尼日利亚等国首脑将出席会议。

卡梅伦主持的这次反腐峰会目的是争取解决全球范围的腐败问题。就在几周前,泄露出来的所谓“巴拿马文件”显示,卡梅伦参与了他父亲设立的一个离岸基金。

卡梅伦说,他没有任何不当行为。公众将从星期一开始得以了解巴拿马文件的内容,其中涉及一些国家的领导人和名流。

卡梅伦说,腐败是世界上很多问题的根源,是进步的敌人。

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry begins a four-day diplomatic mission to Europe Monday where he will meet with officials from several countries and participate in an anti-corruption summit.

The anti-corruption gathering Thursday is being hosted by British Prime Minister David Cameron, and will be attended by heads of state from Afghanistan, Colombia and Nigeria, among others.

Cameron’s summit is aimed at tackling global corruption, and comes just a few weeks after he was exposed in the leak of the so-called Panama Papers as having a stake in an offshore fund set up by his father.

The British leader said he has done nothing wrong. The public will have access to the Panama Papers, which mention various world leaders and dignitaries, beginning Monday.

Cameron called corruption “the root of so many of the world’s problems,” and said it is “an enemy of progress.”
