Can a mutual agreement be reached between India and Pakistan on the delivery of 50 thousand metric tons of wheat to Afghanistan?

Recently, India handed over a list of Afghan contractors and truck drivers to Pakistan to deliver 50,000 metric tonnes of wheat to Afghanistan. At present, Afghanistan is facing a severe economic crisis. India is ready to provide humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. But till now Pakistan had put obstacles in front of India. But now the two neighboring countries have come very close to agreeing to provide humanitarian aid to Afghanistan. According to a report in the Express Tribune newspaper, India and Pakistan have some agreement on the modalities of providing aid.

Let us tell you that Pakistan had recently imposed some conditions on behalf of India regarding the delivery of wheat to Afghanistan. Under this, Pakistan will approve the list of names of contractors and truck drivers carrying wheat from India. Only then will this caravan of humanitarian aid move forward. Now India is fully prepared to reach out to the people of Afghanistan.

In fact, some time ago, in October this year, India had announced to send 50 thousand metric tons of wheat to Afghanistan as humanitarian aid. Along with this, a way was also sought from Pakistan for this to transport wheat through the Wagah border.

 Given the situation, relaxation is being given

 Pakistan has only allowed Afghanistan to export its goods to India. However, Imran Khan's government relaxed this decision only last month in the meeting of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Fund with Afghanistan. Also said in the first Supreme Committee meeting that Pakistan now allows India to send wheat to war-torn Afghanistan. This relaxation is being given in view of the current emergency situation. No such exemption will be given in future, it has been clearly said from Pakistan side.

 According to UN estimates, 23 million Afghans are facing a food crisis, which is a matter of great concern. At present lakhs of children are facing malnutrition. According to the UNDP, if no steps are taken by June next year, 97 percent of Afghan citizens will go below the poverty line.
