ISLAMABAD: During its visit to India, a 10-member Pakistani trade delegation stressed the need for enhancing bilateral trade between the two countries. If trade takes a front seat, other issues will automatically get pushed back, said Suhaib Farooq, leader of the visiting delegation of Jhang Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Chandigarh, IRNA news agency reported. He said bilateral trade is the most promising instrument that could improve relations between the two neighbours and facilitate progress in realising their strategic partnership for the future. He said that there is lot of scope for trade in handicraft, textiles, surgical items, sports goods, renewable energy sector and many more. Farooq said that there should be maximum dissemination of information between the two countries that could lead to a further increase in bilateral trade between the industrialists and businessmen, along with other sectors of the countries.

Nobody in India ttakes you seriously when you talk about improving trade. You reach agreements with India, India implements its part and you fail to follow through with your commitments. If you think that you can endlessly play this game Iand continue to get unilateral concessions from India, you are wrong. First get your government to implement promises already made including MFN to India (which was supposed to be implemented in December 2012), then talk. Enough of empty talk.
