India, Pak Accord On Truck Service To Enhance Trade

New Delhi India and Pakistan agreed to permit cross-border cargo truck services, targeting at encouraging trade between the nuclear-armed neighbours, as part of moves to improve ties that started in 2003. Trucks from one side will be permitted to go to the designated points on the other side from the Attari-Wagah border crossing starting October 1. India and Pakistan have asked to enhance economic cooperation to find a solution to the six-decade-old conflict that has hindered growth in the region.
