Abstract: South Asian region could not achieve prosperity and growth until Pakistan and India work together for the development of trade relations. Their cordial trade links would open the gate of opportunities for all. This is only possible if rivalry is removed and supportive environment for trade is introduced. This article is addressing the question whether there is any potential for trade between Pakistan and India or not? An affirmative answer to this question encourages both giants to divert their productive energies towards economic interdependence and regional uplift. Pakistan and India have the potential of trade, though trade has both characters of competitiveness and complementarity while both can lead to prosperous trade relations if sincerely pursued. Competitiveness would result in efficiency of industries and production while complementarity, especially, the emerging one would prove to be an impressive instrument of development and widening of relations.
