US bid to put Pakistan on global terror watch-list fails

[INDIAPOSITIVE]

The United States (US) has failed to find partners in its bid to put Pakistan on the global terror financing watch-list during an ongoing conference in Paris.

The six-day conference of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) continues in the French capital. The meeting was due to vote on a US motion to put Pakistan on the global terror watch-list.

But, Foreign Minister Khawaja Asif said early on Wednesday that the US has failed in its bid against Pakistan.

In a tweet, Asif has said that Pakistan’s efforts have paid off, and the Paris conference has deferred voting for three months.

He said that there was ‘no consensus on nominating Pakistan for the list’ and that he was ‘grateful to the friends who helped’ in the process.

Asif also says that the Financial Action Task Force has asked Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering to submit another report in June 2018.

Adviser to Prime Minister on Finance Dr Miftah Ismail has been in Paris to plead Pakistan’s case at the ongoing session.

Ismail left for Paris at the weekend to attend the FATF meetings, said officials of the Finance Ministry. The decision to send the adviser was taken abruptly

The country needs space to develop economically. The world must understand and looks like they do.

There is no veto system. USA and UK failed to develop the census.

Enough time to show everyone the measures Pakistan takes to deal with these issues. More countries will side with Pakistan in the end. Pakistanis are always misunderstood not disliked. 3 months should be enough time to talk things over.

What can't be ignored is the country is one of the fastest growing in the world with huge potential. Talking about an economy which can pump out 6%+ annual growth year in year out for 20 years.

US and India will always try to deny Pakistan their riches but its inevitable so sit back and enjoy the show.

Well it's an another name for Veto just like in the case of NSG membership for India application was Vetoed by China.

This motion to place Pakistan on the FATF terrorist-financing watch-list was moved by the US & the UK while was co-sponsored by France and Germany. Russia and China opposed the motion ending up with no consensus.

Russia and Pakistan finally diplomatically aligned. Good job Khawaja achieved a lot in a short space of time. Who was the first diplomat to reach out to Moscow post 2000?
