Islamabad: Pakistan has come out of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) grey list after four years.
The government will announce the progress on the matter soon.
Pakistan has gotten a major achievement on world wide as the FATF removed Pakistan name from its grey list after which all the conspiracies of India has also failed.
The FATF in its plenary meeting admitted that Pakistan has implemented as a whole 34 points of the FATF.
As per the FATF, Pakistan corrected the faults highlighted from June 2018 to June 2021 before stipulated time.
The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) two-day plenary session was continued in Paris. State Minister for Foreign Affairs Hina Rabbani Khar represented Pakistan in the meeting.
I would particularly commend the role & efforts of Foreign Minister Bilawal Bhutto, Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and their teams & all political parties for putting up a united front to get Pakistan out of the grey list. Alhumdulillah! https://t.co/LkX5tupMQe

Earlier, Pakistan rejected malicious campaign by Indian Media ahead of FATF Plenary Meeting.
Responding to media questions on various news items published by Indian media ahead of FATF Plenary meeting, FO spokesperson Asim Iftikhar said we categorically reject the orchestrated malevolent campaign against Pakistan by Indian media ahead of the FATF Plenary meeting.
This is not the first time the Indian media has been fed through official leaks to promote misleading, baseless and fabricated propaganda against Pakistan, just before the official FATF meetings.
The FATF and the wider international community have repeatedly acknowledged the steps taken by Pakistan to improve its Anti Money Laundering and Counter Financing of Terrorism regime.
Asim Iftikhar said despite India’s feverish attempts to politicize the process and cast doubts on Pakistan’s efforts and accomplishments, FATF agreed in its June 2022 Plenary meeting that Pakistan had fully completed all substantive and procedural requirements of both its 2018 and 2021 Action Plans.
Realizing that there are no takers of its aspersions within FATF, India is desperately attempting to promote its malicious intentions through a characteristic disinformation campaign. Pakistan has brought this recurring malafide endeavor to the attention of FATF.
The spokesperson said Indian media and state organs, feeding a mill of lies and propaganda, have no credibility.
Their anti-Pakistan narrative is unfounded and pathological. If anything, these shenanigans only serve to further expose Indian media’s hollow credentials and the malice of its patrons
