On Friday, the anti-money laundering watchdog announced that Pakistan has substantially completed its two action plans out of the total 34 items on the list, and will be removed from the grey list after passing the on-site visit.
During a telephonic conversation, the prime minister appreciated the efforts of the “core cell” established in the General Headquarters (GHQ) for completing the anti-money laundering watchdog’s item list.
“I applaud the civil and military leadership that worked with the core cell,” the prime minister said.
In its statement released after the four-day plenary in Berlin, the watchdog acknowledged that the necessary political commitment remains in place to sustain implementation and improvement in the future.
The army chief, a day earlier, had termed the FATF’s announcement a “great achievement” for Pakistan.
