Washington, Feb 26 (PTI) The US has said reinvigorating trade and commerce between India and Pakistan can provide extensive benefits to both countries and their millions of farmers, business people and entrepreneurs.
"In the United States' engagement with the countries of South Asia, one of our overarching objectives is to facilitate economic linkages and opportunities for all in the region," said Geoffrey Pyatt, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asian Affairs, in his remarks on "Emerging India Summit" at the Emory University yesterday.
"Reinvigorating trade and commerce between India and Pakistan, for instance, can provide extensive benefits to both countries and their millions of farmers, business people and entrepreneurs," he said.
Freer movement of people and goods across South Asia, including between India and Pakistan, will generate new economic opportunities for one of the world's youngest and most vibrant populations, Pyatt said.
