TRADE IN DIFFICULT Land
However, according to experts, Pakistan’s determination to end business is unlikely to have a significant impact because frequent political turbulences between the two countries have hampered symbiotic relations for years.
Between April 2024 and January 2025, India exported less than US$ 450 million worth of goods to Pakistan, accounting for only a small portion of its total shipping.
Important items included sugar and medical products worth more than US$ 115 million.
According to Ajay Srivastava of the Global Trade Research Initiative, a New Delhi-based consider pond,” Imports from Pakistan were negligible– only US$ 0.42 million, limited to specialty items like figs, basil, and rose herbs.”
However, Islamabad even announced on Thursday that it had suspended “every trade with India,” including” to and from any fourth state through Pakistan.”
How this might affect implicit deal between nations like the United Arab Emirates and Singapore is not immediately understood.
Direct business, in Srivastava’s opinion, totals about US$ 10 billion.
According to him,” Casual sources claim that Pakistan imports a number of American goods in this way, including chemicals, pharmaceuticals, cloth and yarn.”
” On the other hand, India perhaps receive Pakistani-routed through third countries, such as times, apricots, and almonds, along with Himalayan red salt and dried fruits like dates, apricots, and almonds.”
