Pakistan will give Non-Discriminatory Market Access to India next month if New Delhi gives access to specific Pakistani products, Commerce Minister Khurram Dastagir Khan was quoted as saying in a media report today.

Khan, a top leader of the ruling Pakistan Muslim League-N, told the Dawn newspaper: "Yes, we have agreed to give Non-Discriminatory Market Access to India next month."

NDMA has been suggested as a new name for the Most Favoured Nation regime in an attempt to reduce political fallout. But Khan said this can happen only if India gives market access to products identified by Pakistan.

These products are included in the sensitive list of the South Asia Free Trade Area. Textiles and chemicals, which form the bulk of the products, are subject to higher duties by India. Pakistan has handed over a list of the items to the Indian side, the report said.
