Normalisation Of Trade Relations Should Not Be Construed As Dilution Of Stance On Kashmir, Says Khar

Pakistan today said its decision to normalise trade ties with India reflects a desire to move away from the policies of the past 40 years but should not be taken as any dilution of its stand on “core issues” like Kashmir.

“We believe that the establishment of normal trade relations with India will be mutually beneficial for both countries. Significantly it also illustrates the priority that we attach to Pakistan’s economic development,” Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar told a news conference at the Foreign Office.
