Punchline: Pakistan’s software producers are hoping to establish closer ties with IT companies from neighbouring India as a pay-off from improving relations between the two south Asian countries. The renewal of commitments last month by the newly-elected Indian government of prime minister Manmohan Singh to continue the peace process with Pakistan, has coincided with an invitation from the Pakistan Software Houses Association (Pasha) to India’s National Association of Software and Service Companies (Nasscom) for an Indian IT business delegation to Pakistan.
