Startup Pakistan: The federal cabinet on Thursday deferred the Economic Coordination Committee’s (ECC) proposal to import cotton and sugar from India, Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi said, until India walks back on its unilateral steps of August 5, 2019, when it scrapped occupied Kashmir’s special autonomy.
The foreign minister, in a video message, said after debating the matter, the federal cabinet did not endorse the ECC’s proposal for the import of cotton and sugar from India and decided to put it off.
He said Prime Minister Khan and the cabinet members unanimously believe that normalization of Pakistan-India ties is not possible unless India reviews its unilateral steps of August 5, 2019, in Indian illegally occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
