U.S.envoy to India Richard Verma has called on both India and Pakistan to resolve their existing issues and take steps to enhance bilateral trade at the earliest.
Addressing the Confederation of Indian Industries' (CII) Amritsar Zonal Council at Integrated Check Post at Attari on Wednesday, Ambassador Verma further said that trade done through the land route via the Attari-Wagah border would significantly reduce transportation costs and time.
Verma was on a two-day visit to Punjab under U.S. Embassy's Outreach Programme.
The US envoy had also visited the Golden Temple and the Jallianwala Bagh in Amritsar.
