Pakistan has refuted media reports that it has expressed readiness to talk on the restoration of India-Afghanistan trade route using its land. The reports were refuted by Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi. “Pakistan has not agreed to consider Afghanistan-India trade through our land,” the Foreign Office said while quoting Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi. The rejection came after US Ambassador to Afghanistan John Bass has said that Pakistan is considering resumption of India-Afghanistan trade via its territory.
