delegation of Pakistani traders and businessmen today arrived
in India crossing Wagah Border with great optimism that close
ties between the two business communities would encourage
politicians to resolve all issues in a peaceful manner.
"We are here on a business mission.... We have brought
love, affection and harmony for the People of India," Ilyas
Ahmed Bilour, president of India-Pakistan Chamber of Commerce
and Industry and leader of the delegation, told reporters
on arrival here.
The delegation is part of the 115-member team which would
interact with their counterparts over the next few days in the
country, he said.
"We are optimistic of peaceful resolution of all issues
between Indian and Pakistan in the wake of positive and strong
statements by Indian Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee and
Pakistan Premier Mir Zafarrullah Khan Jamali in the recent
past," Bilour said.
Miyan Habib Ullah, former Minister of State and chairman
of the Exports Promotion Bureau, Pakistan, said once the
business sides are close to each other, political leaders
would also come close.
"I am a textiles man. If I am allowed to import machinery, I will do it from India instead of buying from China and Japan. This will save our time and money," Ullah said.
