China censures FATF’s politicization, counters anti-Pakistan designs

FATF

Reiterating its support to Pakistan at the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) platform, China categorically announced that it did not want the forum to be politicized as some countries are pursuing their political agenda to blacklist Islamabad.

Talking to a group of visiting Pakistani journalists in Beijing, Deputy Director-General for Policy Planning of Asian Affair in the Chinese Foreign Ministry Yao Wen said China stood with Pakistan and blocked attempts to include Islamabad in the blacklist, Radio Pakistan reported.

He said Beijing made it clear to the United States and India that China cannot be a part of this misconduct which goes against the purpose of the FATF. Yao Wen said the Financial Action Task Force is not meant to put any country in the blacklist, rather to support it to take action against terror financing.

The Chinese official said Pakistan is effectively pursuing its National Action Plan, and China encouraged it to act against terrorists and strengthen its system.

Young girl’s tragic story makes her symbol of Yemen war

Buthaina Mansur al-Rimi’s life has changed drastically since last year — orphaned in Sanaa, the little girl controversially ended up in Saudi Arabia for medical care and has just returned to Yemen’s capital.
