Saudi Arabia sold Pakistan in greed of FATF full membership offered by US

Saudi Arabia sold Pakistan for the sake of full membership of Financial Action Task Force that was offered by the United States in return for withdrawing its support Pakistan and China too had to retreat due to Saudi betrayal.

Washington had convinced Riyadh to give up its support to Pakistan in return for a full FATF membership. This left only two – China and Turkey – in the Pakistan camp, one less than the required number of three members to stall a move.
At this stage, the Chinese informed Islamabad that they were opting out as they did not want to “lose face by supporting a move that’s doomed to fail,” an official source disclosed. “Pakistan appreciated the Chinese position and conveyed its gratitude to Turkey for continuing to support Islamabad against all odds,” the source added.
