ISLAMABAD:


President Indo-Pak Chamber of Commerce & Industry (IPCCI) SM Munir said non-tariff barriers were impeding businessmen from both countries from promoting bilateral trade to its true potential and stressed that Pakistan and India should take urgent measures to remove them.



Munir was visiting the Islamabad Chamber of Commerce & Industry (ICCI) to discuss various measures for further improving Pak-India bilateral trade. He said liberalizing trade relations with India would create many new business opportunities for entrepreneurs in Pakistan and also build confidence in the Pakistani economy.

He said Pakistan should consider granting an early Most Favoured Nation status to India as it would greatly help increasing the trade between the two nations. Munir assured that IPCCI would play a positive role in bringing entrepreneurs of the two countries closer to explore all potential areas of mutual cooperation.
