News Topical, Digital Desk : The closeness between America and Pakistan is increasing day by day. After getting loan from IMF and Pak Army Chief Asim Munir's visit to the White House, another big news is coming from Islamabad. US Central Command (USCENTCOM) chief General Michael Kurilla has reached Pakistan.
General Kurilla was given a grand welcome in Pakistan's capital Islamabad. Not only this, the neighbouring country also awarded him the country's highest military honour 'Nishan-e-Imtiaz'. Obviously, Pakistan will not do all this without any purpose. The neighbouring country has a big purpose hidden behind this hospitality.
Photos from Islamabad go viral
A high profile ceremony was held for General Kurilla at the President House of Pakistan and President Asif Ali Zardari gave him the country's highest honor 'Nishan-e-Imtiaz'. Its pictures are rapidly going viral on social media. Later, General Kurilla was also seen saluting with Pak Army Chief Asim Munir.
Pakistan's motive?
In fact, by giving this honor to General Kurilla, Pakistan wants to prove its loyalty to America. It wants help from America in the field of defense. However, there is a bigger motive than this, FATF (Financial Action Task Force)
FATF's sword is hanging over Pakistan
Pakistan was in the grey list of FATF from June 2018 to October 2022. FATF is a global organization formed against terrorism, which tightens the noose on countries supporting terrorism. After the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor, the terrorism flourishing in Pakistan has once again come to light. In such a situation, the sword of being included in the FATF list is hanging over Pakistan.
What will be the impact?
At the same time, Pakistan's economic condition is also not hidden from anyone. Pakistan is dependent on various loans including IMF. If FATF puts Pakistan's name in the list, it will become difficult for it to take loans. This is the reason why Pakistan is leaving no stone unturned to please America.
