Islamabad, November 06, 2018 (PPI-OT): Mohammad Younus Dagha, Secretary Commerce, held meeting with Indonesian Minister for Trade on the side lines of Import Expo, Shanghai. Both sides agreed to further strengthen the trade relations between two countries. Mr. Dagha raised the issue of delay in notification of inclusion of 20 additional tariff lines in Pakistan Indonesia Preferential Trade Agreement (IP-PTA). Indonesian Minister for Trade assured that the notification would be issued by end of November.
Inclusion of these tariff lines in IP-PTA would help Pakistan’s exports to Indonesia to grow further. Products like Denim fabric, Ethanol, home textile, towel, rice and mangoes would benefit. Both sides also agreed to initiate a study to establish the feasibility of further expansion of IP-PTA. Indonesia has also issued notification to allow import of Mangoes from Pakistan for the upcoming season.
