Indian Commerce Secretary Rahul Khullar, along with a six-member delegation, arrived here on Tuesday to hold talks with his Pakistani counterpart Zafar Mehmood on trade related issues.
"The talks would continue for two days on April 27 and 28 to cover various trade issues with an aim to boost trade among the neighbouring countries," sources said.
Rahul Khullar took stock of ongoing work at Integrated Check Post (ICP) at Attari-Wagah border. On plans for India to get Most Favored Nation (MFN) status from Pakistan, Khullar said the issue would be raised at his meeting with Pakistan delegation. "Though talks are unstructured, without any fixed agenda, such will be taken up," he added.
He said he expected a positive outcome from talks as there exists scope for enhancing trade between two countries. "I am going to listen to them and we feel that good things will come out,'' he said, adding he felt business visas must be relaxed to enable businessmen to travel easily between both countries.
On trade across Line of Control (LoC in disputed Kashmir), Khullar said the matter would be taken up at appropriate level, and if anomalies existed, steps would be taken to correct them.
This will be the second high-level interaction between the two countries after the resumption of dialogue on all bilateral issues.
