Both nations should forget their past differences and move forward to accelerate the pace of trade and business activity for the progress and prosperity of the people of the two countries.

There are a number of sectors where trade and business could be enhanced including agriculture, industry, information technology, textile, sugar, cement, construction and medicine.

The Chairman of the Standing Committee further said that Pakistan’s major investors were in favor of maintaining peace in the region and all the neighbors should take measures to increase trade with each other.

Collective efforts are needed to wipe out terrorism from this region, he said.
