<h1>Non-Discriminatory Market Access sought to normalise bilateral trade, contingent on reciprocal tariff liberalisation and removal of negative list.</h1> India extended Most Favoured Nation status to Pakistan in 1996, which Pakistan has not reciprocated. Official dialogues since 1998 and intensified talks from 2010-2014 sought trade liberalisation and implementation of agreed measures. Both Governments reaffirmed a reciprocal commitment to provide Non-Discriminatory Market Access and to pursue trade normalisation based on an existing road map. Pakistan's shift to a Negative List regime, barring numerous tariff lines from Indian imports, limits SAFTA preferential benefits and constrains trade liberalisation.
