US ‘ready to assist’ Pakistan: Wells

Expresstribune: A senior aide of US President Donald Trump has acknowledged Pakistan’s efforts for fulfilling the obligations of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), saying Washington stands ready to assist Islamabad in implementing them.

 

“We’ve been pleased to see progress by Pakistan towards fulfilling FATF obligations,” Alice Wells, the US principal deputy assistant secretary of state for South and Central Asian affairs, said while briefing the media in Washington about her recent trip to Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka.

Asked about Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi’s request for US help to remove Pakistan from the global financial watchdog’s grey list, Wells noted that FATF was a technical process and an action plan had been presented to Islamabad.
