India sees FTA with Pakistan in 1-2 years
Reuters, Port Louis
India said Friday it hoped free trade with its nuclear-armed neighbour Pakistan would happen within one to two years, as their sluggish peace process moves forward.Since the two stepped back in 2002 from the brink of what would have been their fourth war since independence from Britain in 1947, ties have warmed, but trade between the two countries has remained elusive. "We can see trade between India and Pakistan happening in the foreseeable future," Sanjaya Baru, spokesman for the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said. "I don't see why it can't happen in the next year or two", said Baru, who is accompanying Singh on a visit to Mauritius.
