Prime Minister David Cameron has met with Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth. At the meeting, the journalists were filming the conversation the Prime Minister and the Queen.
"This morning we had a very successful meeting. All about summit on the fight against corruption ...", said Cameron. Then, he said, "we Have the leaders of some corrupt countries, coming to Britain ... Nigeria and Afghanistan, perhaps the two most corrupt countries in the world."
Summit on anti-corruption opens in London on Thursday. "At first glance, this is perhaps one of the most undiplomatic things, said the Prime Minister. Two countries were described as the corruption for a few hours before the leaders of these countries visited the UK.
It was not clear if Cameron regrets about his comments. "We can't comment on the conversation between the Prime Minister and the Queen," said a spokesman for Downing street in a statement emailed to CNN. "The President of Nigeria and the President of Afghanistan has acknowledged the scale of corruption issues that they face in their countries."
"Collection of articles on the fight against corruption, which will be published on Thursday, President Ghani says that Afghanistan is" one of the most corrupt countries on earth "while the President Bukhari writes that corruption has become a" way of life " in his country.
Historically, Nigeria and Afghanistan had a very high level of corruption that continues to this day," said Kobus de Swardt, managing Director of Transparency International, said in a statement. "But the leaders of these countries have sent strong signals that they want to change that." Nigeria was unhappy with the comments of Cameron.
