Minister for Textile Industry Makhdoom Shahab-ud-din said on Thursday that granting the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India had not been finalised as yet and the matter was being looked into to address the related issues. He said that the cabinet only approved in principle the granting of MFN status to start normalization of trade relations with India.
“Both countries are discussing many aspects threadbare, a negative list is being compiled,” he said while responding to a supplementary question during the question hour in the National Assembly.
Foreign Minister Hina Rabbani Khar also said that MFN was a misleading term, it only meant normalization of trade ties between the two countries.
