TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran has increased its exports to neighboring Pakistan in the first eight months of the current Iranian year (March 21, 2018-November 22, 2018), showing a considerable increase as compared with last year's corresponding period, an official announced on Monday.
"Iran's exports to Pakistan reached $860mln since the start of the new (Iranian) year until the end of the month of Aban (November 22)," Iran's General-Consul in Karachi city Ahmad Mohammadi said.

"Exports of goods from Iran to Pakistan have increased 60% in the current year compared with the past year," he added.

Tiles, ceramics, cement, mineral fuels, distillation products, fruits, nuts, organic chemicals, plastics, iron and steel, soaps, lubricants, waxes, and candles are among the goods Iran sends to Pakistan.

Senior leaders of Iran and Pakistan have vowed to enhance the values of trade exchanges between the two countries to the level of $5 billion.

A senior Pakistani trade official underlined in August that his country would not quit developing trade relations with Iran despite the re-imposition of sanctions against the Islamic Republic by the US.

"Sanctions will have no impact on Iran's trade with other countries and cannot hamper its progress," President of Iran-Pakistan Federation of Culture and Trade Khawaja Habib-ul Rahman said.

He underlined the re-imposition of the US sanctions against the Islamic Republic as an unjustified move, and said, "The economic situation of Iran is far better than the past and the new round of the US sanctions on Iran cannot hamper its progress."

Also, in September, Imran Khan voiced his country's willingness to broaden mutual cooperation with Iran in different fields.

"Pakistan is seeking enhancement of amicable ties with the Islamic Republic of Iran," Khan said.

The Pakistani prime minister underlined that Islamabad was looking for establishment of friendly relation with all its neighbors.

[Pakhtoon yum]

Trade between neighbors is key to a peaceful future, example European nations.

Pakistan Should Use Currency Swap To Finance Trade

Iran's target is $5 billion trade annually. Slowly over the next few years, we'll eventually get there.

Just a start. We will increase it every year, Pakistan will look to give a most favoured nation status, in all but name.

 

[Tokhme khar]

Iran's trade with Iraq for example is already near $20 billion annually. With Syria/ Afghanistan it is $5 billion each as of today. So with Pakistan $5 billion target is very feasible.

soon Pakistan will import hugely from India, China, Afghanistan and Iran....those days are not far looking at the rate of hud harami and kam chori in Pakistan growing, I am sure Cement factories will start importing cement from Iran and bag it and sell it as their product just like Bata and Service are importing cheap shoes from China and selling as their product...Ex-Pat Pakistanis need to get 2 and maybe 3 jobs now

Iran apparently has serious cement production capabilities. Iran supplies/ed alot of cement used for Iraq's reconstruction.

Just shows you how bad overall Pakistan-Iran relations are. Low trade between them only proves that what sustains Pakistan-Iran relationship is Islamic comraderie and mutual decency.

That is some good trade figure with Afghanistan. Nice job.

Pakistan and Iran are two natural allies; we share a unique ideology. I don't know what is holding us back, but the potential of our relations is immense.

Your tilt towards Arabs.

 

[Talwar e Pakistan]

Your tilt towards Arabs.

That's true, hopefully once Arab-Iranian tensions steam down; we can reap the potential of Iranian-Pakistani relations. Before the revolution, Pakistan-Iran were very close allies - they aided us in every one of our wars and there was even talks for a possible merger.
