Who told you all that? Large scale smuggling as it's happening, cannot happen without participation of state. Pakistan is loosing $billions annually and than we have $ paddlers to Iran.

Not even Pakistani diplomats are safe in Iran.

Iran and India both loves Pakistan's defense technology and intelligence information..... hope this new border crossing into chabahar would be of great help to the cause and mango trucks would prove to be good alternate to C130.

I have already disclosed on this forum before my last ban, that Imran Khan and team was negotiating with China on behalf of Iran. Imran Khan offered China concession in Pakistan and duty free imports, in exchange that China should construct industry in Iran rather than Pakistan. What's Gulfi interest in it?

You are misleading, Pakistan's textile exports to Gulf are highest in world, which Pakistan is risking with its poor foreign policy and most of above undiplomatic behavior.

Exports to Gulf states jump 36pc

The data compiled by the State Bank of Pakistan showed exports to the UAE surged by 28pc during the July-March period. The export value reached $1.244bn this year as against $971.173m over the corresponding months of last year.

Pakistan’s export to Saudi Arabia increased by 42.9pc to $352.164m during the July-March period this year as against $246.419m over the corresponding months of last year. Pakistan’s exports to Saudi Arabia mainly include rice, fruits, vegetable preparations, apparel and clothing, and made-up articles of textile.

Currently, negotiation on a preferential trade agreement covering both tariff and non-tariff barriers are pending before the two governments.

Exports to Qatar increased 50pc to $108.898m during the July-March period this year as against $72.49m over the corresponding months last year. Similarly, exports to Bahrain also witnessed a growth of 8.33pc to $52.856m as against $48.789m over the corresponding months last year.

Pakistan’s exports to other countries in the region remained stagnant during the period under review.

Meanwhile, exports to Iran during the July-March period stood at $0.055m as against $2.892m over the corresponding period of last year. Pakistan mostly trades on a barter basis with Iran, which does not account in the official figures. On the other hand, the country’s exports to Afghanistan, once Pakistan’s second-biggest export market after the United States, dropped by 10.8pc to $789.437m as against $885.779m over the corresponding months last year.

Pakistan has closed its border stations with Afghanistan since Mar 15. Only $61m worth of goods were exported to the neighbouring country during March. The government has virtually banned all kinds of exports to Afghanistan except kinno.
