During the recent talks, the two countries discussed 20 tariff lines, of which, Indonesia agreed to give unilateral concession to Pakistan's major exports including zero-rated tariff on textile fabric, tobacco, citrus, T-shirts, mangoes, ethanol, rice, apparel and woven fabric.

The ministry official termed the unilateral concession on 20 tariff line as a major success for Islamabad as it would lead to the exports of Pakistani mangoes and citrus to Indonesia, which is set to increase trade volume and earning through exports for Pakistan.

The official pointed out that before the recently held PTA negotiations, Pakistan could export mangoes and citrus to Indonesia for only two months in the year, but now these two fruits can be exported to the country anytime in the year.

The Pakistan-Indonesia PTA was executed in February 2012, he added.
