so is there anything you are saying at all or just chewing up air and voice makes unintended words....rather, just twiddling thumbs and kbd happens to be in the way?

Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation

Opening business with India is in the interest of Pakistan. Pakistan can save billions of foreign exchange and both the government can earn millions in taxes by legalizing illegal trade exchanging billions of Rs on both side. One field I can think of is Railways, as PR is almost at the brink of shutting down. Getting Indian locomotives immediately even on rent, can save the national railways from disaster. However as I already said, it is our general who has to decide, not the PM or President, or the parliament unfortunately.

Same thing happened to Iranian oil and gas pipeline project. It is in doldrum as Sam is not happy about it. If Sam is not happy than our generals are also not happy, therefore project has become standstill. Everyone knows that this project will benefit Pakistan a lot.

I guess kiyani had the butt of his ak47 over zardari's temple to buy more locomotives from china after the disastrous experience last time? I guess it is twice bitten, shame on you but then the ruling party has no shame.

Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation

it is better to export some trash to europe and america and earn foreign exchange , and let the experts of developing countries decide if trash is of good quality or not? than importing trash and kabaad locos from china becoming eventually** trash expert** .:disgust:

Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation

I learned a lot by reading your posts - the made in vs brand of subtlety had escaped me. Nicely put.

Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation

Most posters here opposing trade with India are probably doing well for themselves - I wonder what the laborers think - if they can get a chance at a better wage and living due to increased and open trade.

Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation

In other thread I said the same thing about China’s supplying not so good products to Pakistan including its rolling stock. I still don’t understand what do you want to convey here? China is a commercial friend not the sincere friend it used to be in past. Doing business with China is more costly than doing business with India. More over China has double or tripple standards, the products it sends to America are quality products as compared to trash it sends to Pakistan.

Indian pharma firms to cut medicine rates in Pakistan by a third
Joe C Mathew / New Delhi October 16, 2011, 0:19 IST
Even as drug makers in Pakistan are reportedly cautioning against the plans of their government to grant Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India in the medicine sector, Indian pharmaceutical industry representatives say that it will bring down medicine prices (in Pakistan) to one-third of the current rates.

The Indian industry also rubbished the claims of the Pakistan Pharmaceutical Manufacturers Association (PPMA) of possible job losses, arguing that the domestic drug makers are unlikely to set up distribution and sales units in Pakistan and could route their supplies through existing pharmaceutical marketing and distribution channels.

Newspaper reports from Islamabad had stated that PPMA Chairman Khawaja Muhammad Asad had written to Pakistan leadership and industry chambers that expansion of bilateral trade with India under MFN with respect to pharmaceuticals was not positive.
PPMA feels that given the 10 times bigger size of Indian pharmaceutical industry as compared to its Pakistan counterparts, local industry in Pakistan will not survive if MFN status is granted to India. The association also wants all medicines to be in the negative list once India gets MFN status.

According to D G Shah, secretary general, Indian Pharmaceutical Alliance, MFN status to India will do more good to Pakistan patients than to the Indian drug industry.

“Pakistan is a good market as medicine prices there are three to four times higher than that of India. The local pharmaceutical companies in that country are also importers and suppliers of MNC (Multinational Corporation) medicines. If they start importing medicines from India, that may harm the MNC interests,” Shah said.

Stating that cross border trade of medicines is already happening in all areas neighbouring Pakistan borders, Shah said Indian drug companies have high sales in such districts. “The question is whether Pakistan drugs controller will seek fresh registration for each medicine that gets imported from India. Still, patients can get affordable medicines there,” Shah added.

Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation

lower prices of drugs may help poor , but i cant say how it will affect pharma industry of pakistan. multispeciality hospitals are coming up very fast in big cities with world class facilities , patients from middle east countries are biggest user of such medical facilities, neighbouring countries should certainly utilise it as members of sarc countries .

Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation

Are indian drugs up to the standard? I mean why isn't US buying from them as they do buy from ireland for instance.

Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation

^ you’re kidding right? if not read http://www.usitc.gov/publications/332/working_papers/EC200705A.pdf
Page 19 describes the exports to Europe and USA.

It is not just exports. Western pharmaceutical companies are now outsourcing a wide range of
activities including: the manufacture of APIs, chemical intermediates, and formulations; clinical research
and clinical testing; and packaging and labeling

BTW all this as of 2007, But this report will open your eyes

Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation


Instead of retrospection you continued your favorite rhetoric of blaming India or US for everything that goes wrong in Pakistan. If you keep on playing blame game you are free to do so for centuries, without solving any purpose.

Re: Pakistan to declare India as Most Favoured Nation

FYI: The Indina Pharmaceutical industry has grown from mere US$ 0.3 billion turnover in 1980 to about US$ 21.73 billion in 2009-10. The country now ranks 3 rd in terms of volume of production (10 per cent of global share) an 14 th largest by value (1.5 per cent of global share). India has the largest number of USFDA - approved plants for generic manufacture. Source: http://www.indiainbusiness.nic.in/industry-infrastructure/industrial-sectors/drug-pharma.htm
