Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan are almost near finalisation of draft of the trilateral transit agreement among the three countries.
On April 9, the meeting of the working group of representatives of the governments of the three countries opened in Dushanbe. The meeting will agree on a draft of this agreement. “The relevant decision under this agreement will be made at the end of the meeting of the working group,” said the ministry of economic development and trade of Tajikistan on Friday.
In January this year, Pakistan handed the draft of the proposed Pakistan-Afghanistan-Tajikistan Trilateral Transit Agreement (PATTTTA) to both the Afghan and Tajik governments and sought their proposals.
In the beginning of January this year, Pakistan and Afghanistan held two days negotiations to review Afghanistan Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement (APTTA) and to search out avenues of signing Trilateral Transit Trade Agreement (ATTA) amongst Pakistan, Afghanistan and Tajikistan with an aim to enhance trade volume up to $5 billion over the next three years.
