ISLAMABAD:

Federal Minister for Trade Makhdoom Amin Fahim while talking to PTV on Sunday said that the European Union will grant duty free access to Pakistan by 2014.

Fahim said that there is a great demand for Pakistani goods in China, adding that Pakistan and Turkey will enhance their trade relations in the near future. He said that it was very crucial to open the Attari gate and Wagah border and issuance of multiple visas for trade between Pakistan and India.
