            Resuming business with its larger, fast-growing neighbour clearly makes sense for Pakistan, but Indian companies will require some convincing
            Pakistani foreign minister Ishaq Dar [who has earlier served as finance minister] raised more than a few
            eyebrows last week when he said — almost as an aside — that his country’s new government would “seriously
            look into matters of trade with India”.
            A resumption of trade would be something of a climbdown for Pakistan, which cut off economic ties when
            Prime Minister Narendra Modi withdrew Kashmir’s special constitutional status in 2019. Until now, Pakistani
            leaders have insisted they wouldn’t restore relations until the decision was reversed.
