Wide of leather goods stall\u003cbr/\u003eDecades of conflict have decimated trade between India and Pakistan, the two nuclear armed South Asian neighbours. \u003cbr/\u003eNow, with peace efforts between the rivals stalled, officials are hoping that trade itself could lead the way to easing their tensions.\u003cbr/\u003eThey have liberalised commercial ties, inaugurated a new border depot and promised to throw open their economies to each other by the end of the year.\u003cbr/\u003eAt a Pakistani trade fair held in New Delhi this month, the response was overwhelming.\u003cbr/\u003eAmong the most popular items on display were Pakistani garments, pottery and jewellery.\u003cbr/\u003eThe recent commercial openness has been welcomed by traders who have deep historic and cultural ties but were cut off from each other when the former British colony was split upon independence in 1947.\u003cbr/\u003eThe three wars they fought did not dampen Pakistanis'' craving for India''s green tea nor Indians'' longing for Pakistani dates and nuts.\u003cbr/\u003eSo, Indian traders routed their Pakistan-bound products by ship via Dubai in a 28-day journey that is 40 times as expensive as trucking it over their shared land border.\u003cbr/\u003eBut the two sides have now set aside their competing claims to the Kashmir region and other thorny disputes for the time being, to focus on restoring economic links and quadrupling trade that reached 2.8 (b) billion US dollars last year.\u003cbr/\u003eHaseeb Bhatti, a surgical instrument maker from the Pakistani city of Sialkot, said the two sides have to learn to trust each other again after decades of conflict.\u003cbr/\u003e\"We have to trust India and India in turn has to trust us and that''s how we can built up. We have to look towards the future, we cannot look back because you know there is nothing to cherish about,\" Bhatti said.\u003cbr/\u003eIn recent months, Pakistan drastically reduced the number of Indian products barred from the country and said it will eliminate the bans completely by the end of the year. \u003cbr/\u003eIt also said it planned to grant India the \"Most Favoured Nation\" trade status, which would reduce tariffs. \u003cbr/\u003eNew Delhi gave that status to Pakistan in 1996.\u003cbr/\u003eIndia said this month it would lift the ban on Pakistani investments as well and is talking of exporting electricity and petroleum to the energy-starved country. \u003cbr/\u003eBoth countries'' central banks are exploring opening branches across the border.\u003cbr/\u003eIndian officials said they were close to an agreement on visas to make it easier for business leaders to cross the border and stop forcing them to report to police.\u003cbr/\u003eAnd India unveiled a new customs depot at the Attari border, which separates India''s Punjab region from the Pakistani Punjab.\u003cbr/\u003eGhazala Rahman, a Pakistani furniture designer, lamented it was the first time in 64 years that she had come to India for business.\u003cbr/\u003e\"It''s an historic move for us to come here ... what more can you ask for? And it''s good because ... we do share a lot, in taste, in style, and the way we look at things, tradition,\" Rahman said.\u003cbr/\u003eYet, Bhatti speaks with nostalgia and hope.\u003cbr/\u003e\"When I came to the border I looked up in the sky and I didn''t see a dividing line, neither did I see any dividing line on the soil. There were few bricks that are manmade so when there are no restrictions from up there, why are we restricting ourselves?\" he said.\u003cbr/\u003eIndian merchants also hope to use the land crossing to reach markets in Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq and across Central Asia.\u003cbr/\u003eThe trade optimism spurred demands for more crossings along the 2,900 kilometres (1,800 miles) border.\u003cbr/\u003eHowever, long-time Pakistan watchers remain cautious. \u003cbr/\u003eAnother attack reminiscent of the 2008 siege of the Indian city of Mumbai by Pakistan-based gunmen could push the countries back to the brink, analysts say.\u003cbr/\u003eThere are also doubts about how far Pakistan''s military will let its civilian leadership go in restoring ties.\u003cbr/\u003eBut Pakistan''s army has sent its own signals it wants better relations, with army chief General Ashfaq Parvez Kayani calling for the demilitarisation of the disputed Siachen Glacier, at the northern tip of Kashmir, and for greater emphasis on development and peace.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton
