ISLAMABAD:


 South Asia Association of Regional Cooperation Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SAARC-CCI) urged the Indian government to resume dialogue with Pakistan that will help in exploring the trade potential between the neighboring countries.



“The Indo-Pak trade could jump 10 times the current volume while the removal of tariff and non-tariff barriers could result in an expansion of trade between the two countries from its current $2.5 billion to about $50 billion,” said SCCI Senior Vice President Iftikhar Ali Malik, who is leading a delegation to India. “New Delhi should play its role to resolve bilateral issues with Pakistan, which are creating hurdles in trade.”
