Trade with India cannot be delinked from other issues: Pakistan

January 26, 2014 17:25

Pakistan today indicated trade cannot be delinked from other contentious issues in the composite dialogue with India as it sought an "uninterrupted and uninterruptible" process to make peace more sustainable.

"You cannot deal with the situation in isolation. Even if there is a strong desire on both sides to move faster on one track, (like the) trade track...we have seen if something happens, if there is a snag or some incident happens, everything comes to a standstill," Foreign Office spokesperson Tasnim Aslam told PTI.

She was responding to a question on whether trade could be delinked from other issues that have hit bilateral ties since independence.
