Pakistan is India’s ‘most important’ neighbouring country, and politics should not hinder bilateral trade between the two countries, Indian Home Minister P Chidambaram said on Sunday. He made these comments while laying the foundation stone of the first Integrated Check Post at Attari along the Pak-India border.
“Even though Pakistan has not reciprocated by granting ‘Most Favoured Nation’ status to India, this does not mean New Delhi will stop encouraging trade with Islamabad.
