April 1, 2021
Finally, two years of tense relations between Pakistan and India have seemingly stepped towards normalization, bringing a ray of hope for peacemongers to witness stability and a peaceful environment in the region in times ahead.
The hope was rekindled by a series of events including a much-desired ceasefire at the border, the meeting of the India-Pakistan Permanent Indus Commission, and an exchange of letters by the two prime ministers eying a peaceful coexistence.
It was further consolidated when the Economic Coordination Committee (ECC) of the Federal Cabinet in Islamabad on March 31 allowed the commercial import of white sugar from India up to 500,000 metric tons till June 30, 2021 through land and sea routes.
