Tehran virtually suspends preferential trade agreement

[ArsalanKhan21]

Iran, Saudi Arabia and Persian Gulf Sheikhdoms have gone berserk. They want a conflict but they have not calculated the costs of the death and destruction. Iraq-Iran war and now conflicts in Iraq, Syria and Libya has created anarchy in the Middle East.The biggest loser in full blown war over Yemen would be Saudi Arabia and that is why they need Pakistan involved. We have enough problems of our own we don't need to get involved in a conflict that can be avoided. Yemen civil war is internal conflict and both Saudis and Iranian should stay out of it. Pakistan need to peace and harmony among Shias and Sunnis in Pakistan. Pakistani Sunni are deeply influenced by Persian culture and Persian was official language of Mughal and later British empire in South Asia. Pakistani Sunnis have tilted towards fellow Sunnis but they do not want any sectarian conflict or war with Iran.

Haha did u saw chinese PM visit to Pakistan???What did he said??Where iran comes in China Pak relations??Iran is a shia state and saudia is a sunni state u sect worshippers have nothing to do with Islam.U both r killing Muslims just for infulence and talking about islamic state.Shame on u!!! We r not concerned about iranians they can do what ever they want and we will support them.If Saudi teritorial integrity is in danger they Pakistan will react with full Force.Note:Stop watching pisstv and stop worshipping the sect.

Pakistan have decides after Peshawar attack that we will finish all kind of terrorism.What china,Usa,saudia or iran have to do with it??U my friend really need to take some rest because u become totally blind.Your every comment derived from only sect worshipping.

Its really funny that iranies r more worried then Pakistanies about the Wahibies in Pakistan and Saudies r more worried then Pakistanies about shias in Pakistan.Both r fighting like kids on Pakistan,Iranies saying Pakistan will not defend Saudi Arabia and Saudies saying Pakistan is with us.There is some kind of a fight going on between saudia and iran to get the support of Pakistan...

LOL! Iran is not seeking any kind of support from Pakistan while everyone knows saudi is seeking. Iran is only asking Pakistan to Stay Neutral. Pakistani Shias too do not like to send PA to be send yemen to kill their shia brethern while You are blatantly telling that Pakistan is Sect worshipper and will protect wahabi kingdom with full force. This is indeed a good joke. Shias will never allow their country Pak to be used by wahabis as the protector of a wahabi kingdom. this will never happen.

this is your another joke that Pak decided something after peshawar school attack and it was fast asleep since past 3 decades.

Basically you people are ill informed and have no idea of the conflicts.

Do you expect Saudi Arabia not to respond to Iran's drive for regional dominance ?

Don't worry about sending me anywhere, IF I could survive the Pak-India border, I can survive any border! Unlike you I'm not an arm chair general.

It's funny when people like you open your mouth, and show your level of intellect. People who are blinded by hate, and have zero knowledge of actual underlying issues.

Ditto!!!!!!!!!!!

Leaving aside the trade volume aside, this is a dangerous political move by Iran.

well i do not know what is going on but i guess Pakistan have finally got its Foreign Policy straity,, at least on the ongoing Yemen crisis:

Pakistan, Iran eye trade at $5 billion
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and Iran have agreed on a five-year trade facilitation plan to enhance bilateral trade to $5 billion.

The understanding was reached during the seventh Pakistan-Iran Joint Trade Committee meeting held in Tehran on Wednesday. Commerce Minister Khurram Dastagir Khan headed the Pakistani delegation while the Iranian side was led by the Minister for Industry, Mines and Trade Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh.

An official statement issued here by the commerce ministry stated that Khurram expressed concern over arbitrary and unilateral import bans, high textile tariffs and import authorisation system.

He called for early elimination of all non-tariff barriers under the 2006 Preferential Trade Agreement.

During the meeting, the current level of trade was reviewed and a decision was taken to develop a five-year trade facilitation plan to fulfill the shared vision of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif and President Rouhani to increase bilateral trade from $1b to $5bn. Both the sides also agreed to form a working group to suggest widening of the 2006 Pakistan-Iran Preferential Trade Agreement.

The two sides also reiterated the need for joint investment in agro-food processing and infrastructure, particularly in the field of establishing effective rail, air, road and sea links between the two countries, as well as opening new border trade posts at Mand-Pishin and Gabd-Reemdan.

On Iran-Pakistan gas pipeline, the commerce minister said that Gwadar to Nawabshah pipeline was part of Pakistan-China Trade Corridor. Pakistan will arrange construction of the remaining portion of the pipeline from Gwadar to Iran border paving way for import of gas.

The Iranian minister assured that hurdles in the way of bilateral trade would be removed through effective measures.

Earlier, Khurram Dastagir met Iranian Minister of Economy and Finance Dr Ali Tayyab Nia.

Once again u got a brain fart as usual.By requesting Pakistan to stay neutral what will u call it??Seeking support or not??If iran not seeking Pakistan's support why request for neutrality??U r a sect worshipper fagot and i dont have to prove to anybody gere because everybody know your record on PDF.Pakistan is a Islamic state not like iran or saudia arabia shia and sunni state.We will love to see both countries live peacefully but if iran threatens saudi arabia with any physical action then iran will face the music.Shia sunni nonsence did not exist in Pakistan prove is Pakistani Parliement decide to stay not to send army in yaman mejority of the members of Parliement r Sunnies so its ur brain fart once again.I advice u not to watch Pisstv and try not to live in a fools paradise because sect worshippers like u r curse on Muslims.Those who devide Muslim Ummah r the biggest enemies of Islam and u must remove the avatar of Great Allama Muhammad Iqbal because its an insult to Iqbal that a idiot like u have its Picture.
