India is likely to allow Pakistani business people to come to a designated area at the Attari-Wagah border to hold talks with their Indian counterparts.

“Once the trade dialogue is resumed, we will discuss the proposal with the Pakistani side,” Commerce Ministry Joint Secretary Arvind Mehta said. The idea behind the move is to help businesses save time and effort in visiting each other’s countries to discuss business proposals.

Mehta said that the Commerce Ministry has already discussed the matter with other ministries and everybody was on board.
