The Pakistan foreign minister said that the fact that India had not pointed fingers at its neighbor at the ‘Heart of Asia’ meet was product development.
New Delhi: As Pakistan lifted its ban on the import of cotton and sugar from India, the country’s foreign minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said that it was a positive sign that his Indian counterpart had not raised a finger at Pakistan in an international forum.
Pakistan Cabinet’s Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) on Wednesday permitted the import of sugar and cotton from India, which will partially roll back the suspension of trade ties by the Pakistan government following India’s move to change Kashmir’s constitutional status in August 2019.
While trade ties may be slowly reviving, Indian and Pakistani foreign ministers did not hold any meetings or short ‘pull asides’ at the ‘Heart of Asia’ ministerial conference in Tajikistan, where both were in attendance.
On Tuesday night, Qureshi told Pakistani media said that the revival of the LoC ceasefire agreement, the Indian prime minister’s letter on Pakistan Day, and the fact that Indian external affairs minister S. Jaishankar did not criticize Pakistan at the ‘Heart of Asia’ Conference, as he had on previous occasions, were “positive and productive developments”.
At the last ministerial conference in December 2019, Qureshi had left the hall when Minister of State for External Affairs V.K. Singh had started his speech.
