New Delhi: Pakistan on Tuesday said the process of granting non-discriminatory market access (NDMA) to India will be carried forward once bilateral engagement with the country resumes.
“Let the bilateral engagement resume. Our two Prime Ministers have met and all the issues were discussed and we hope that that things will be carried forward when the time comes,” High Commissioner of Pakistan in India Abdul Basit told reporters here. He was replying to a question on granting of MFN or NDMA status to India. Basit said people of both the countries have given huge mandate to their respective leaders to create a better understanding between the two countries.”I have no reason to doubt for a moment that acche din aa rahe hain (good days are ahead),” he said.
Minister Nawaz Sharif was here last month to attend the swearing-in ceremony of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The two leaders had discussions on various issues. Pakistan has decided to postpone the grant of NDMA status to India due to lack of consensus at home. Bilateral trade talks have been suspended since last year following escalation in violence at the LoC.
