Pakistan has prepared a detailed response for submission before the European Commission on December 10, 2020 in order to foil the Indian attempts for obtaining branding rights on Basmati rice, Adviser to PM on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood said on Friday.

He hoped that Pakistan’s defence was ready and the Indian claim on Basmati rice would be rejected in totality. The decision to this effect is expected to be announced within a one-year period, he added.

Adviser to the PM on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood said that he would be visiting Afghanistan from November 16 on a two-day visit to kick-start negotiations on revision of Afghanistan-Pakistan Transit Trade Agreement (APTTA).
