It was only effort of some countries including United States to malign Pakistan, which will not be successful as many countries supported our position, he said while talking to a private news channel.

He, however said that Pakistan would have to focus on long term planning and implement "action plan". There was no name of Pakistan mentioned in the list of FATF, he said. Putting the name in the watch list would not affect emerging economy and investment in Pakistan, he assured.
