US Senators have introduced economic package for Pakistan, Afghanistan: Tahir Javed
LAHORE (Dunya News) – US Democratic leader Tahir Javed has said that US senators have introduced an economic package for Pakistan and Afghanistan, which will enable textile goods to be sent from Pakistan to the US without any duty.
Tahir Javed said Saturday that Democrat Senators Chris Van Hollen and Maria Cantwell and Republican Todd Young introduced the package, which will bring economic benefits for Afghanistan and Pakistan.
The economic package was introduced to promote stability in the region. It has been tabled before the Senate Foreign Affairs Committee. Under this package, reconstruction zones will be established in the Pak-Afghan border areas.
Tahir Javed further said that through this legislation, textile goods can be sent to the United States without paying any duty, adding that it would be of great benefit to Pakistan over the next 10 years if it gets approved.
He said that this one act could solve many problems of Pakistan, with the possibility of its exports to the United States increasing tenfold. He added that the relationship between Pakistan and the United States could gain a new dimension through this legislation.
