FATF Report Reveals Pakistan’s Missile Programme Link to 2020 Cargo Seized in India

A fresh FATF report has reignited global scrutiny on Pakistan’s military proliferation activities, spotlighting a 2020 cargo seizure at India’s Kandla port linked to Islamabad’s missile programme. The consignment — a large autoclave used in ballistic missile production — was mis-declared and originated from China’s Jiangyin port, headed for Port Qasim in Karachi. The consignment was traced back to Pakistan’s National Development Complex (NDC), responsible for developing long-range ballistic missiles. The FATF report, titled ‘Complex Proliferation Financing and Sanctions Evasion Schemes’, marks this as a case of serious proliferation financing (PF) violation. The revelation comes shortly after the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack, with FATF condemning the incident and emphasizing that terror attacks rely on financial networks. India now plans to highlight these findings in a diplomatic push to re-list Pakistan on the FATF grey list, targeting both terror financing and WMD proliferation as part of its case.#india #pakistan #fatf #fatfreport #pakistanmissileprogram #indiaexposespakistan #kandlaportseizure #terrorfinancing #fatf2025 #nationaldevelopmentcomplex #missileproliferation #chinaexportviolation #greylistpakistan #toi #toibharat #bharat #breakingnews #indianews
