India: All clear for first Indian wheat shipment for Afghanistan on Feb 22

NEW DELHI, 14 February 2022, (TON): Despite tense relationships, Islamabad and New Delhi have finally cleared all hurdles in the way of transportation of Indian wheat to Afghanistan via Pakistan as the first shipment carrying food grain is expected.

A foreign office official confirmed to media that India had provided the list of Afghan truck drivers and contractors who would carry the wheat to Afghanistan via Pakistan.

The official said while requesting anonymity "”the first shipment is expected on February 22.”

Ahead of the wheat shipment, India on Friday signed an MOU with the World Food Programme (WFP) on the distribution of food grain to the people of Afghanistan. Under the agreement, India would hand over the wheat to WFP in Afghanistan that would then distribute it among the people.

This will be rare when India transports goods using Pakistan's land route to Afghanistan since Islamabad otherwise never permits two-way trade between New Delhi and Kabul.
