Al-Sudani: we need international support to recover stolen funds

Shafaq News / Iraq's Prime Minister, Mohammed Shia al-Sudani, stressed Iraq's need for international support to recover its stolen funds.

Answering the question of Shafaq News agency's correspondent about whether Iraq is coordinating with the International Monetary Fund and the American Federal Bank, during the weekly press conference, al-Sudani said that the stolen funds' file requires local and international follow-up and coordination.
