Pakistan, India can take trade up to $30bn if they improve ties: Indian High Commissioner
131
The Indian High Commissioner to Pakistan, Ajay Bisaria, on Friday stressed the need to improve trade ties between the two neighbouring nations while addressing an event at the Lahore Chamber of Commerce and Industry (LCCI).
Bisaria's statement comes at a time when relations between the two nuclear neighbours are at a low amid heightened tensions because of the latest incidents of harassment of Pakistani diplomats in India. A Pakistani delegation is also currently visiting India to discuss water issues.
The top Indian diplomat told the audience today that traders on both sides of the Indo-Pak border face visa issues which is among the reasons why the two sides have failed to actualise the potential $30 billion trade mark estimated by the World Bank.
Trade volume through a third country is greater while direct trade between India and Pakistan stands at only $2.2bn, Bisaria noted.
He stressed that the two sides will have to work together for a peaceful future and said that poverty and illiteracy are common enemies of both nations, adding that both sides need to improve mutual ties.
Bisaria also said that the policy of confrontation that has been going on for over 70 years has benefited no one and should be dropped in favour of one which is led by the large young population on both sides that is the furthest away from the bitter past.
The diplomat also expressed hope that cricket between the two nations would resume as relations normalise, since citizens on both sides want restoration of bilateral games.
He highlighted the role of media in ties between the two nations and said that reporting that is far from the truth adds to the problems.
Last week, Pakistan’s High Commissioner to India Sohail Mahmood had expressed similar sentiments for peace and said that both India and Pakistan must give their next generations a future of hope and opportunities.

It is beneficial for both countries to increase their trade volume. China and Japan have history of rivalry but they also trade an estimated $350 billion worth of goods and services with each other annually. This qualifies them as one of the largest trading partnerships in the world.

I have seen many discussion in Pakistani channels where participants argue that increasing trade relationship with India will destroy its Industry, I find the argument hilarious. There is almost no trade relationship with India for last 70 years. How much it helped Pakistan in increasing its Industrial and manufacturing base is all to see.
Good relationship with India will be more beneficial for Pakistan than India. It is true that many of its industry will shut shop but it will be compensated many times over by some industries which will grow exponentially to cater to market of 1.3 billion people. Like fashion industry, sports industry, tools industry, cement industry and most important tourism, it will have a multiplier effect on whole Pakistan Industry.
No CEPC can provide Pakistan what good relationship with India can provide. If Pakistan wants to become Asian tiger, it can only be achieved through a good trade relationship with India.
Good relationship will give Pakistan more leverage on Kashmir too. It will be able take India to negotiating table and can actually extract some deal.

What stops the two countries to resolve outstanding issues? Trade in mutually antagonistic environment cannot and will not help particularly when economies of the two countries, except for relative sizes, are almost similar. Insecurity in one domain is a weak starting point for everything else. Both countries need to mature up and responsibly settle all outstanding issues. It will help them both and beyond. The energy and resources expended to put each other down is nothing but continuous waste while majority of population in both countries deserve better of those wasted resources.

In order to promote trade, confidence building mesures have to be adopted. As a first step, there should be full silence on the border. Let the population of both sides of border say that they are happily living in peace. It is not a big deal for any country. When peace and tranquility prevails then trade promotion exercise be worked out. It can’t be gainsaid that there is no trade at present. When we are trading then the volume can be increased. More trade means more interaction with the people nd chambers of commerce. Side by side cultural and social activities can be initiated. People of both the countries should be involved in promoting peace and then a stage should come when the people will themselves decide how to solve the core issue of Kashmir.

If India is really sincere in buiilding trade relations with Pakistan it has to start peace negotiations with Pakistan to solve the Kashmir issue.The poverty is rampant in both countries and the politicians can,t hear their cries. India is the largest arms importer in the world while poor people are dying for lack of proper food and healthcare.

Similar attempts had been made by both sides, at the highest levels, in the past. Every time the process got derailed by some trigger ! There is something missing apart from the optics.

Why our countries fight each other? Use our common sense to understand that rivalry is not at all beneficial for both countries. Prosperity is the byproduct of peace, let us live in peace, we can improve trade and other engagements between us.

Stop killing Kashmiris and free the people of Kashmiris and withdraw half a million
Indian soldiers from the Kashmir valley , and this part of the world change ,and bloom , not only 30 billion dollars of trade would take place, but 100 billion dollars could be directed to education and building of infrastructure.A happy Kashmir valley
Would in return create a lot of blessings and baraka for the people of India and Pakistan.
