ISLAMABAD: The first meeting of the Pakistan-India Joint Business Council got off to a swimming start with the formation of 10 task forces, charged with the resolution of outstanding trade-related issues between the once-warring countries.

“The meeting was held in good spirit; both sides appear to mean business,” said Sunil Kant Munjal, who is the chairman of Hero Corporate Service Limited, one of India’s largest business houses, and was leading the Indian delegation. “We’re focusing now on setting the road map — addressing the issues, concerns and hurdles required to strengthen our trade and business relationship.”
