Pakistan says will 'seriously' consider normalising trade ties with India

Indicating a potential shift in diplomatic stance, Pakistan's Foreign Minister Muhammad Ishaq Dar said that Islamabad will "seriously" consider restoring trade ties with India that remained suspended since August 2019. Pakistan downgraded its diplomatic ties with New Delhi after the Indian government abrogated Article 370 and has been struggling to pay back its external debts due to slower economic growth and a lack of new investments.
