"No formal decision has been taken by Commerce ministries of India and Pakistan to resume talks on bilateral trade," Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman said in a written reply to the Rajya Sabha. Bilateral trade talks have been suspended since last year following escalation in violence at the Line of Control. In 2012, Pakistan had committed itself to giving the Most Favoured Nation (MFN) status to India but missed its own deadline because of domestic opposition. Pakistan has to abolish the negative list of 1,209 tradeable items. Abolishing the list of items that cannot be imported from India means the grant of NDMA status to the country. Major sectors included in the negative list of Pakistan are auto, steel, paper & boards, plastics, textiles, electrical machinery and pharma. NDMA (Non-Discriminatory Market Access) is a nomenclature chosen by the Pakistani government to avoid political ramifications at home in giving India the MFN status. Replying to another question, Sitharaman said the Commerce Ministers of India and Pakistan met in January here and reaffirmed the commitment to expeditiously establish normal trading relations and to provide NDMA on a reciprocal basis. "At various fora, senior functionaries of Pakistan and representatives of a few trade and industry bodies in Pakistan have voiced concerns about the so-called Non-Tariff Barriers in India and have also raised apprehension that opening up of trade with India will harm certain segments of Pakistan's economy," she said.
