The government seems to have taken the right decision to engage a United States lobbying firm - Linden Strategies - to seek Trump administration's support for the country's quest to be removed from Financial Action Task Force's (FATF's) 'grey list' ahead of its crucial October 21-23 plenary in Paris.

According to Linden Strategies, "Our philosophy is simple: assist clients with strategies that yield results." The US-based lobbying firm is expected to develop an approach for the government of Pakistan that leads to success as its team, according to it, "is comprised of forward-thinking government and legal experts."
