The FATF delegation to review the implementation of an action plan it issued to Islamabad earlier this year, diplomatic sources informed the Geo News.
The delegation comprising members of Asia Pacific Group on Money Laundering will be visiting the country from August 13 to 16, according to the sources. They said the purpose of the visit is to have a detailed review of a report submitted to the global watchdog by Islamabad.
The delegation would also be briefed by officials of the National Counter Terrorism Authority (NACTA) and other relevant authorities, the sources added. The officials would brief the delegates on measures taken by Pakistan against terror financing, according to the sources.
In June, Pakistan was formally added to the grey list of countries involved in providing monetary assistance to terrorism and related causes after a FATF meeting in Paris. According to FATF's statement, following the decision Pakistan pledged to "address its strategic counter-terrorist financing-related deficiencies".
