Mauritius – Pakistan PTA
The Preferential Trade Area (PTA) between Mauritius and Pakistan was signed on 30 July 2007 in Mauritius.
The objectives of the PTA are mainly to strengthen the economic and commercial relationship and to increase the volume of trade in goods and services between the two countries. Under the PTA, tariff concessions have been granted on a list of products of export interest to both countries, which will allow our local operators to trade with Pakistan on preferential terms.
