Both India and Pakistan must focus on the development of the tourism industry to maintain peace between the two countries. Tourism spreads the message of peace and is both an engine of economic growth and an instrument for eliminating poverty, curbing unemployment and uplifting downtrodden sections of society. Moreover, tourism has been instrumental in softening the relations between the two countries in the past as well.
Similarly, the countries should also focus on improving trade relations. Pakistan has successfully strived to live up to the region’s legacy, creating important links with its age-old trading partners. Soon after their creation in 1947, India and Pakistan were healthy trading partners. India served as a market for half of Pakistan’s exports of agricultural products and minerals, and supplied a significant share of Pakistan’s imports, including manufactured goods. In an age of declining values, peace can remain indescribable if the values are not well propagated and communicated to society at large.
