Indo-Pak traders urge respective govts to restore cross LoC trade

Traders from both sides of the Line of Control between India and Pakistan met at Tashkent in Uzbekistan and called upon both the neighbouring countries to “take a comprehensive review of the modalities and technical mechanism to restore operation of cross LoC trade as early as possible’’.

The three day meet held between June 23-25 was attended by cross LoC traders, leaders of business chambers from both sides. They assured their respective governments of their full support and assistance in putting the trade on modern and transparent lines to the benefit of economic development and peace in Jammu and Kashmir.

The participants also called upon the J&K Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry (a consortium of regional chambers in Srinagar, Jammu and Mirpur) to closely work with the government authorities and the traders for early resumption of trade.
