Islamabad, July 18, 2022 (PPI-OT): The government and people of war-hit Afghanistan are in a win-win situation to benefit from the economic activity generated through the bilateral trade as Pakistan’s private sector imports Afghan coal to fuel their plants.

Three companies from Pakistan are in coal trade with Afghanistan as so far no agreement could reach between the two governments for the trade. Pakistan and its private sector strive to support their Afghan brethren through revival of the economic activity but the hostile elements are poised to undermine the efforts to serve their vested interest.

The coal imports are undertaken by private companies on both sides having nothing to do with Pakistani government or institutions. According to Afghan Chambers of Commerce and Investment, the surge in exports of coal has caused the rise in the country’s annual revenue. Any false reporting and narratives are meant only to harm the livelihood of common people.
