This opinion in the Hindusthan Times points out that prime minister Modi's speech at Kozhikode following a militant attack in Kashmir in September 2016, reflects a long standing policy since the late 1970's of Congress party and BJP or Janata party administrations. The idea is to encourage cross border exchanges to reduce tensions. The emphasis in back channel talks between India and Pakistan also emphasize the idea of CBM, cross border movement. The prime minister of Pakistan, Nawaz Sharif, has also expressed in the past the importance of cross border movement and trade as ways to improve the economies of both countries. The idea of building up trade and increased exchanges between the two countries is supported also by the U.S. and other western countries. The example of Ireland and Northern Ireland where trade and cross border exchanges are considered important by all parties after Brexit, is an example of how important this is.

Michael Boskin on the pressing need for a free trade agreement between India and Pakistan

01/06/2008

Boskin says trade models suggest that with normal trade under a free trade agreement India and Pakistan's trade would grow from $2.7 billion today to $50 billion, and be 20 times larger. India-Pakistan trade is smaller today than trade between India and Sri Lanka. Boskin was head of the elder U.S. president Bush's Council of Economic Advisors and instrumental in setting up the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA).
