Pakistan makes an offer cum invitation to Saudi Arabia

.
It was Turkey that defended us more than any other country. Saudi Arabia supported us but withdrew their opposition to the US resolution when US offered them full membership to FATF (SA was just an observer, entire GCC had a single vote which resides with SA). China too withdrew their objection to the US resolution once SA withdrew its objection as it takes atleast 3 objections to defeat a resolution and they did not want to be a part of a losing battle. Turkey, despite all odds, continued to object till the end. Basically, SA sold Pakistan for a single vote to a body which doesn't even matter to them!

Pakistan's name is on FATF because of Hafiz Saeed, I cannot explain it in any simpler terms, everything else is just a facade. Now, we have 2 options, to defend HS at the UN and get his name off the Terrorists list or to prosecute him and put him behind bars! The action plan ultimately leads us to this step which the Military does not want.
Ok that you for providing the full details... so KSA sold for a single vote.
Anyways we need to improve our relations with Iran. KSA has been doing business with India and Saudi sheikhs have done a lot of investment there. Waleed bin Talal gave India $17 million during floods and Indians had no shame in accepting it either...rather jumped on it like a pack of hungry hyenas.

Why, that's the best..

What are the facts about FATF with some credible source since there have been conflicting accounts but none with definitive evidence. I heard that KSA defended Pakistan more than any and even had disagreement with USA, which given their circumstances feels very daunting for them and good for us.
BTW do you know why Pakistan's name is in FATF? As per Dr SM it is because of the money laundering which is linked to the terror financing. That basically leads to our corrupt badmashiya and if Pakistan takes action to eliminate or at least minimise this money laundering, it will come out of this FATF. Thats's the main reason why the state is so serious about the issue and perhaps that the only reason IK has been let to win the elections...otherwise, they would have rigged the election again to bring the status quo back into the power under pressure from the world powers.
I dont think there is anything conflicting about it because if you analyse the situation Pakistan needed 3 votes to avoid the grey list, we have Turkey, China and the third was Saudi Arabia. During the first hearing consensus could not be reached and our "koi sharam hoti ha koi haya hoti ha" was too quick to declare victory but after that when the voting did take place, only two countries stood by Pakistan and they were Turkey and China but 2 votes alone could not have prevented Pakistan from the grey list.
On your second part i would say that all of this had a malicious intent. It had nothing to do with money laundering or anything because if that were the case than this should have happened during Zardari's time and than again during NS time. The fact that this only happened now shows that US was behind it with an intent to arm twist Pakistan to do its bidding.
Having said that if this makes us put in place a tougher mechanism for money laundering than all the better however with US backing this, i doubt if will survive from getting into the black list.

Invite them to invest in Agriculture sector aswell - Saudi Arabia imports 80% of their food products worth 20 billion dollars (approx) annually.
