Financial Action Task Force: The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) is highlighted as an indispensable pillar of the global counter-terrorism financing and anti-money laundering architecture. Its credibility was defended by India against attempts to question it, with India emphasizing its technical, evidence-based work rooted in international standards. The FATF's role in scrutinizing countries like Pakistan for terror financing is central to the event.

Parvathaneni Harish: Parvathaneni Harish, India's Permanent Representative to the United Nations, was the key speaker at the event, delivering India's strong defense of the Financial Action Task Force and its stance on counter-terrorism financing, with veiled references to Pakistan.
