Speaking at a dinner gathering hosted for him by the India Pakistan Chamber of Commerce in Karachi, he said that the delay in visa agreement would not just affect the business community but common people as well.
He further acknowledged that trading with Pakistan and vice versa would reduce trust deficit between the two countries.
“Trade leads to people-to-people interaction and results in better relations,” he said.
He also said that custom clearance and laboratory testing are two main hurdles for businessmen in both the countries.
Sabharwal added that India is working on exporting electricity and petroleum products to Pakistan.

thas how Pakistan says "Damn with the masses and their wants its all about us n the ruckus"lool people to people contact cannot be done over political pompous which in the case of our fella@ lyan" has much to loose",it proves again the cocky behaviour of the Pakistani establishment whos lost everything and delebrate to loose more hopefully ! guess its we the Indians who benefit from this as we wont want to wake up to kasabs and hafeez sayed showing up at our door step with a "visit Visa"
Even when the two nations want to come together ...there is someone who will throw in the monkey wrench ..
There is no need for any visa agreement until Siachen is settled. Pakistan has much to lose by visa agreement before the outstanding issues are settled.
Of course... it is only expected out of the cheap news hungry leaders over here, who can stall big projects because of political gains. Its the patent of Pak..
