According to a report by Reuters, the Indian Bureau of Export Trade issued a notice on May 3rd local time, stating that the country has banned imports of goods originating from or transiting through Pakistan. The ban takes effect immediately.
The Indian side's statement said, "This ban is implemented to safeguard national security and public policy."
The report pointed out that over the past few years, trade between India and Pakistan has been continuously decreasing.
Following the major casualties caused by a shooting incident in the Indian-controlled Kashmir region on the 22nd, the Indian side accused Pakistan of supporting "cross-border terrorism" and took a series of tough measures, including suspending the Indus Waters Treaty to cut off water supply to Pakistan.
Pakistan firmly denied any connection with the shooting incident and took a series of equivalent countermeasures against India, including closing its airspace to Indian airlines, suspending all trade with India, etc.
