Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi on Friday said Pakistan has been largely compliant with the requirements of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) and that country should in principle be taken off the grey list. The statement came ahead of the FATF review in February: the anti-money laundering watchdog will decide whether or not to keep Pakistan on the grey list. Speaking in Multan, Qureshi said the FATF members appreciated the efforts made by Pakistan during its recent meeting in Beijing. He said India has remained hostile to Pakistan and not only the country wanted Pakistan to remain on the grey list, it even wanted to push Pakistan to the blacklist. With these improvements, we will see Pakistan emerge as a top tourist spot in the year 2020,” Qureshi said.
