	Afghan transit trade concessions for India demanded Islamabad, Sept 08 Pak-India Business Council (PIBC) has demanded Afghan transit trade facilities for India. Chairman of the PIBC Hafiz Noor Mohammad Kasuri said in a statement that grant of transit trade facilities would give $ 20 billions benefits to Pakistan. He said with grant of facilities bilateral economic and industrial relations between Pakistan, India and Afghanistan would be further strengthened, exploring new avenues. He said India has a large trade base to export many articles to help reconstruction and rehabilitation of Afghanistan and $ 200 billion exports to Central Asian States giving further revenue and more opportunities to Pakistan. Kasuri hoped that the issue of transit trade would be resolved during coming meeting of the President Pervez Musharraf and Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh at New York at the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly session. PIBC chief welcomed opening of different routes between Pakistan and India and demanded more routes for this purpose.
