Every country has its own right and choice...Pakistan has full right to say no to India.....In fact there should not be any MFN status and trade between two nation if there is so much hate and mistrust existing.

While we're at it, why not allow a terrorist camp/buildings for RAW inside Pakistan to help them support BLA and TTP more easily?

Pakistan urged to clear goods bound for Afghanistan on 'humanitarian grounds'

Co-President of Pak-Afghan Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PAJCCI), Khan Jan Alokozay, said the Nato supplies halt also brought the daily-use cargo bound to Afghanistan consumer markets to a suspension, wanting the key US ally -Pakistan to try to clear the long detained goods on humanitarian grounds.

In an interview with Business Recorder here on Thursday on the sidelines of a joint-meeting session between Afghan and Pakistani trade bodies at a local hotel, Alokozay appeared rather hopeful about the trade growth for both countries under PAJCCI banner.
He said Pakistan government's move to disallow cargo bound to the Nato and American forces in Afghanistan also caused long detention to the general use of cargo for the Afghan markets.
"A large number of importers have finally withdrawn their rights to lift the detained goods from Karachi harbours for huge customs and port charges," he pointed out.

He asked both the governments not to allow the fragile trade between both countries to fall to political disputes and keep the economic issues on safe side in all seasons.
He also wanted Pakistani ports and shipping authorities to speed up the cargo clearance operations particularly at Karachi Port Trust (KPT) as delays in goods supplies to the Afghanistan markets were causing the importers huge demurrages and customs charges.
He, however, lauded the operations at Port Qasim where, he said, automotive scanners and fast cargo clearance mechanism used to helped the cargo importers to transport their goods at the earliest, where at KPT the issues were largely related to the bureaucratic hurdles.

Co-President of PAJCCI said the trade volume between both the neighbouring countries surged significantly in post-2001 era as both the countries began to serve each other land as a transit ways for goods supplies.
He said before the 2001, the trade between both the countries was limited as Pakistani traders were only able to transport their products to mere Jalalabad and not beyond there.

"Whereas, now Pakistanis are able to find new venues beyond Kabul in Afghanistan and across the border to Central Asian states to widen their trade horizon," said Alokozay.
In return, he said, Pakistan received coal, cotton, iron, steel and such other products from Central Asian countries, adding that the transit trade from Pakistan to Afghanistan should also need a big rise from mere 40 percent at present to almost 100 percent.

He said for Afghan markets Karachi ports is the closest harbours wherefrom these could easily lift the cargo to dispense it within a few days to its markets across the country without facing huge problems.
However, he pointed out that Afghanistan at present is relying some 60 percent on Iran's Port Bandar Abbas for its cargo supplies as a transit corridor along with Chabahar.

He favoured transit trade with Pakistan, saying such a trade with Iran is too expensive and always troubling in terms of time consumption.
Alokozay also complained about the freight charges by Pakistani transporters, besides other tactics which they used to fleece the Afghan traders for supplying their goods, he said, such an errant trend has also damaged the Afghanistan trade.

He said Afghanistan's goods were being stolen at terminals in Peshawar and elsewhere in Pakistan during their supplies en route across the border.

Co-President, PAJCCI hoped the joint trade body of both the countries would help solve big and small issues on permanent grounds.

Waoooo...... Northern Alliance seeking free transit for NATO on 'HUMANITARIAN' grounds!!

Some one please, tell me its false news!

Otherwise its more like US & Indian lackey, drug lords and child traders 'Northern Alliance' scratching each others back.

Have they forgotten about disputes with Pakistan?

Who don't want to believe that Iran is the biggest supply route for NATO supplies!

Pakistan should keep both the transit and supply route to Afghanistan suspended until and unless its legitimate demands are fully met. First and foremost, the US must apologize for the Salala incident, bring the ISAF/US killers to justice and fully compensate the affected families. Secondly, the US must stop illegal drone strikes which injure and martyr the vast majority of innocent Pakistanis residing in the Tribal areas.

Though, ideally it would be wiser for Pakistan to grab this opportunity and quit the farcical war in its entirety. Needless to mention the severe costs associated for Pakistan after owning this war. Pakistan must control the porous border with Afghanistan which is being used as an escape route by insurgents and rouge foreign elements to hurt Pakistan. Pakistan must dismantle domestic and foreign based outfits operating from its oil. All these measures must go hand in hand for security and stability to prevail.

 

[lem34]

What a stupid suggestion. we might as well start supplying Indian consulates in Afghanistan so they can supply terrorists in Pakistan

I for once agree with Omar1984, bilalhaider and BATMAN!

Mate that must be a first lol

We're already ahead of that point. We served them Afghanistan on a golden platter.

We are already accepting their version of events. No scratch that accepting their version of events that go against us and ignoring those for them:

When Samjhauta Express occurred:

Samjhauta Express the handiwork of LeT-ISI?

Today:

Samjhauta Express: Kamal Chauhan planted the bomb.

If Afghanistan is being used against us our responsibility is to stop such a thing. We have heard claims Hakimullah is an agent. Now we should abandon our own market... (our goods flood into Afghanistan) and allow Indian goods to enter and take our place causing another economic loss. Bhai to make foreign policy decisions the first thing you need is a strong leadership that maintains the interests of Pakistan FIRST.

Dear & poor Dalit, Pakistan's decision makers are US nationals!

Issue with us is we are complicit.

Our P.M. says 'collateral damage may worry you Ameriknas but not to us Pakistanis' he further on said, 'You shall keep up the drone strikes and we'll keep making noise in parlyment'

Unfortunately, that is the ground reality in Pakistan. The leaders are making unpopular and unwise decisions against the wish of the people of Pakistan. The Salala incident served as the last nail in the coffin so to speak. Both the civilian and military leadership were forced to halt the supply routes.
