No immediate plan to grant India MFN status: Dar
ISLAMABAD: Finance Minister, Ishaq Dar said Monday that Pakistan has no immediate plan to grant India the status of most favoured nation (MFN).
Speaking to Hamid Mir on Geo News program ‘Capital Talk,’ Dar said there was a need to normalise relations with India on a number of issues. “There is no immediate consideration to grant India MFN status.”
Relations between the two South Asian neighbours have been strained after India accused the Pakistan army of killing five soldiers at the Line of Control (LoC). The accusation was rejected by Pakistan.
Over the last few days, India has repeatedly violated the ceasefire agreement with Pakistan by opening unprovoked fire at several different sectors along the LoC. Pakistan has expressed concern over these violations by summoning the Indian Deputy High Commissioner to Pakistan to the Foreign Office.
