LONDON — Angola is seeking other countries' help to recover state funds lost because of corruption, Minister of State for Economic Coordination Manuel Jose Nunes Junior said on Tuesday. Angolan President Joao Lourenco said on taking office in 2017 that he would crack down on graft and reform the economy. "We are activating all the legal, judicial and diplomatic measures to ensure the repatriation of those resources," Nunes Junior said at Chatham House think tank in London. He declined to say which countries the government had contacted. "We are requesting international cooperation to support this process, to help us look into the cases of corruption we already identified or the ones we have not found yet," he said.
