Khan Allows Indian Aid To Afghanistan To Pass Through Pak Once Modalities Finalized | World news

 


Pakistani Prime Minister Imran Khan said on Monday that his government would authorize the transport of 50,000 tonnes of wheat offered by India to Afghanistan as soon as the modalities were finalized by Islamabad and New Delhi.

Khan made the announcement while approving a humanitarian aid program for Afghanistan.

He visited the new Afghan interministerial coordination cell (AICC) in Islamabad and chaired the first meeting of the cell’s umbrella committee. The meeting was also attended by Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi, Pakistani Army Chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and National Security Advisor Moeed Yousaf.

Khan announced Pakistan’s decision to authorize the 50,000 tonnes of wheat that India has offered to deliver to Afghanistan as humanitarian aid to pass through Pakistan as soon as the terms are finalized with the Indian side, according to an official statement released after the meeting.

Pakistan will also facilitate the return of Afghan patients who had traveled to India for medical treatment and are stranded there, the prime minister said, the statement added.

Hundreds of Afghan nationals, including patients seeking medical care and their relatives or carers, have been stranded in India for months after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan in mid-August.

In recent weeks, some of them have returned to Afghanistan via Iran on a handful of specially organized flights. However, the fare for this route was $ 850 and beyond the reach of most stranded Afghans.

India offered to deliver the 50,000 tonnes of wheat as humanitarian aid via the Wagah land border post with Pakistan several weeks ago. However, Pakistan has not responded positively to the move, Indian officials said.

Even a Taliban delegation that recently visited Islamabad raised the issue of permission to ship wheat with senior Pakistani leaders.

At the meeting in Islamabad, Khan called on all Pakistani ministries to make it as easy as possible for the Afghans. He ordered the immediate dispatch of humanitarian aid in kind worth 5 billion Pakistanis, including 50,000 tonnes of wheat, emergency medical supplies, winter shelters and other items. He also approved in principle the reduction of tariffs and sales taxes on major Afghan exports to Pakistan.

Khan also ordered authorities to continue providing free Covid-19 vaccination to all Afghans entering Pakistan from land borders. Pakistan began free vaccination of Afghans on November 13.

NSA Moeed Yusuf, who is also the cell’s coordinator, gave a presentation on the current economic situation in Afghanistan and the cell’s progress in coordinating Pakistani efforts for humanitarian aid and border facilitation for the Afghans.

Khan asked Yusuf to travel to Afghanistan to hold delegation-level talks and agree on specific areas where immediate capacity-building support will be provided to Afghans, the statement said.
