An interesting development in Indo-Pak trade relationships. A decision has been made (in principle), but no date yet for its implementation.
ISLAMABAD: Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar Wednesday said that Pakistan had made a principled decision to grant Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India, Geo News reported.
To a question posed to the Foreign Minister in a point of order during National Assembly session, she said: “A principled decision has been taken to declare India as Most Favoured Nation,” adding, however, that Pakistan wanted Kashmiris to be taken on board in the consultative process.
Hina Rabbani Khar said positive signals were being received in connections with the outstanding disputes with India.
“We want progress on not just one but a number of issues with India on permanent basis besides normalization of overall bilateral relations,” she added.
Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation
Why? What favour has India did?
Blocked our water from the rivers or Blamed us for Mumbai Attacks Or What?
comeon. didnt pakistan attack mumbai. who should we have blamed... martians?
it is a reciprocal action by pakistan as it already enjoys mfn from india, india last week gave it support to pakistan for its exports to europe and india and pakistan decided to increase the trade to 6bn usd from current 2bn.

Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation
I think it is a good decision. Billions of Rs of Indian and Pakistani goods are smuggled without paying government taxes. Threre should be no objection to legalize this business. However it requires Kyani’s approval. Without his approval, the deal can not get through.
Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation
Pakistan doesn't get much benefit from getting MFN status from India bcoz we don't export much to India any way.,
Pakistan has more to gain from MFN agreement provided if they want to..India is a bigger market, so there is opportunity for Paksitanis to sell their stuff in a bigger market India...on the other hand Pakistan is a smaller market as compared to India.
