‘No Most Favorite Nation status for India planned’
LAHORE: The government has no plans to grant Most Favorite Nation (MFN) status to India, clarified Adviser to Prime Minister for Commerce, Textile, Industry and Investments, Abdul Razak Dawood on Tuesday.
He was addressing journalists at the post-inauguration media talk of International Cement Conference and Exhibition organised by All Pakistan Cement Manufacturing Association and Intercem.
Mr Dawood said the country’s cement related exports, especially clinker, continued to increase and are likely to touch a figure of 20 million tonnes soon.
“There are some petty issues which can be resolved. Our current production is 55m tonnes. The volume of our cement-related exports at present is 5m tonnes and is expected to touch 20m tonnes worth $1 billion in future,” he hoped.
He said the government is working out free trade agreements (FTA) with different countries, especially China, and hopes to complete the second FTA with China by June 2019.

Pakistan's cement exports to India can rise exponential ly if MFN status is given to India. It will bring much needed foreign exchange to Pakistan.
No favours to India who is killings Muslims and othe minorities everyday .
@Saif Zukfiqar What if china?
India should also withdraw MFN status given to Pakistan.
@Prateik, If India really needs and wants this status from us?
