Afghanistan would post a dedicated commercial attaché in New Delhi within a month as part of a push to revitalise economic engagement with India, Afghan Commerce and Industry Minister Alhaj Nooruddin Azizi said on Monday, pitching his country as a “paradise for investment” and urging Indian businesses to scale up bilateral trade “much beyond” the current $1 billion.

Azizi, who is on a five-day visit to India, said the decision to appoint commercial attachés in both capitals was finalised during his meeting with Minister of State for Commerce and Industry Jitin Prasada last week.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
