“Regional markets including India offer huge opportunities and can help Pakistan boost its exports,” said Commerce Minister Khurram Dastgir Khan on Thursday.
Addressing a gathering of growers arranged by Sindh Abadgar Board (SAB), the minister said there was no need to be fearful of Indian market’s size as Pakistan has huge export potential.
“We shouldn’t be apprehensive of India’s products and markets. Positive list has been replaced with negative list in PPP government and barring a few things all kind of trade with India is open since 2012.
“Besides India, countries like Iran, Afghanistan and gulf region are attractive markets waiting our products. We can make better returns but we must first organise ourselves,” he said.
