According to multiple reports, the anti-terror money laundering agency - the&nbsp;Financial Action Task Force has recommended that Pakistan will continue on the 'Grey List' for failure&nbsp;to check terror funding. News agency&nbsp;PTI&nbsp;quoting sources said that a&nbsp;sub-group of FATF&nbsp;has recommended continuation of Pakistan in the 'Grey List' and that the final decision will be announced on Friday. By continuing on the 'Grey List', it will be difficult for Pakistan to get financial aid from the IMF, World Bank, ADB and the European Union, thus further enhancing problems for the nation which is in a precarious financial situation.&nbsp;Pakistan was placed on the 'Grey List' by the FATF in June 2018 and was given a plan of action to complete by October 2019 or face the risk of being placed on the 'Black List' along with Iran and North Korea.

As&nbsp;coronavirus outbreak&nbsp;continues to batter China, the country's central bank has implemented a new strategy to contain the virus -- deep cleaning and destroying potentially infected cash. The new measures, announced by the People's Bank of China, aims to contain the spread of the virus which has&nbsp;infected more than 71,000 people&nbsp;globally and killed over 1,700.&nbsp;All Chinese banks must now literally launder their cash, disinfecting it with ultraviolet light and high temperatures, then storing it for seven to 14 days before releasing it to customers.&nbsp;And in the central bank's Guangzhou branch, these high-risk banknotes may be destroyed instead of merely disinfected, according to&nbsp;state-run Global Times.&nbsp;

An important assertion by Pakistan Prime Minister&nbsp;Imran&nbsp;Khan as the global anti-money laundering watchdog - the&nbsp;Financial Action Task Force meets in Paris. Speaking at an international conference, Khan has said that&nbsp;there are no "safe havens" for terror groups in Pakistan "right now". He went on to admit that&nbsp;it was possible that such safe heavens were operating in the country, saying, "Whatever the situation might have been in the past, right now, I can tell you... there is one thing we want: peace in Afghanistan." India, the United States and Afghanistan have long accused Pakistan of providing safe havens to terror groups like the Taliban and the Haqqani network. Also, the timing of his statement is important as&nbsp;Pakistan is trying to wriggle out of being blacklisted by the FATF for not doing enough to combat terror financing, a meeting which is on in Paris.

Stating that Erdogan&rsquo;s remarks are &lsquo;completely unacceptable&rsquo;,&nbsp;India has issued a strong demarche to Turkey on the remarks made by&nbsp;Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Jammu and Kashmir&nbsp;during his Pakistan visit. MEA Spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said Erdogan&rsquo;s remarks reflect neither an understanding of history nor of the conduct of diplomacy. He also added that the remarks distort events of the past to advance a narrow minded view of the present. The demarche was sent to the Ambassador of Turkey in New Delhi.&nbsp;

India on Sunday rejected UN chief Antonio Guterres's offer of mediation on Kashmir and said the real issue that needed to be addressed is to vacate territories 'illegally and forcibly' occupied by Pakistan. India's response came after the UN chief, who is on a 4-day visit to Islamabad said he was concerned over the situation in Kashmir, and that he was ready to mediate between the two countries. MEA spokesperson Raveesh Kumar said Jammu and Kashmir is and will continue to be an integral part of India and urged the UN to press Pakistan to take credible and irreversible action to stop cross-border terrorism against India.
