China drops tariffs on Pakistani products as FTA-II starts
Jan '20
Beijing immediately dropped tariffs on more than 300 Pakistani exports, including textiles and garments, seafood and leather. In exchange, Islamabad has offered greater market access to Chinese raw materials and heavy machinery, according to Pakistani media reports.
The deal, signed in April 2019 after ten rounds of parleys, will reportedly raise Pakistani exports to China by between $500 million and $600 million in the short-term. The figure is expected to rise to $4 billion over the next five years.
