China, Malaysia and Turkey back Pakistan at FATF meeting

Financial Action Task Force(FATF) said, "Strongly urge Pakistan to swiftly complete its full action plan by February 2020 otherwise should significant and sustainable progress not be made across the full range of its action plan by next Plenary, the FATF will take action."
Pakistan will avoid getting on the black list yet again, thanks to support from China, Turkey and Malaysia. These three countries had protected Pakistan in June 2018 as well, landing the country in the less-dire FATF grey list instead.
