Afghanistan begins to export products directly to India for the first time

[my2cents]

Afghanistan is still #1 exporter of Pakistan.
If Pakistan closes border with Afg, Afghanistan economy will collapse, even if it has other to trade with.

Kandahar, Afghanistans biggest city in economic size, uses the PKR.

The bold part has more to do with lack of options, just like Pakistan used to use INR. Otherwise, even Pakistan won't like to use PKR.

2nd fastest growing among trillion dollar economies.. and not needing any IMF bailouts

Excellent news!

Here's some info for those interested:

India is developing the port and will spend over $100 million in development of the port's infrastructure. It is the only Iranian port with direct access to the ocean. The growing commercial sector located at the free trade area has high potentiality to turn it into a hub that would connect business growth centers in south Asia (India) and Middle East (Dubai) to central Asian and Afghanistan markets.

Afghanistan being a land-locked country, most of its international trade is being done through Pakistani sea-ports. Therefore, India wished to connect to Afghanistan via an alternative route (through Iran). So, a trilateral agreement was signed among India, Iran and Afghanistan.

Under this agreement:

> Iran is to build a highway from Chabahar (a Port City of Iran) up to Afghanistan border.
> India is to build a road connecting Delaram (border city of Afghanistan) to Zaranj (Capital of Nimruz province of Afghanistan).

Further, the establishment of the port and its connection to the country’s railway plan, is under study and consideration. With the completion of the Kerman–Zahedan railway and its connection to the port of Chabahar, this port will connect to the Trans-Iranian Railway. India is finalizing a plan to construct the 900-km railway line that will connect Chabahar port in Iran, being built with Indian help, to the mineral-rich Hajigak region of Afghanistan.

Good going India!

Cheers!

Gimme a break! Trade between Afghanistan and Pakistan is hardly worth a mention - a paltry $2 billion!! That's slightly more than the cost of Mukesh Ambani's house in Mumbai!!
