India wants common market
NEW DELHI, Dec 10: India and Pakistan can unite through a common market to work jointly for developing a trade and economic bloc which could even be a matter of envy for blocs like EU, Nafta and Asean, says Indian Defence Minister Pranab Mukherjee.
"We have no other option but to undertake serious efforts to break the ice by developing a common approach towards trade and commerce," Mr Mukherjee told a meeting of the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry on Friday.
"If the European nations can come under a common platform of European Union by forgetting over 300 years of conflict, why not India and Pakistan with a history of only 50 years," Mr Mukherjee told members of the key business club.
