Afghanistan, Pakistan Reopen Torkham Border Crossing

The trade and movement of people between Pakistan and Afghanistan have fully resumed.

This is after the two sides reopened a key border crossing that was closed nearly a week ago by Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers.

The Torkham border crossing was reopened on Saturday, Afghan customs official Muslim Khaksar said.

“The border is now open from both sides for civilians as well as for traders,” he added.

Ziaul Haq Sarhadi, a director of the Pakistan-Afghanistan Joint Chamber of Commerce and Industry also said; “We are happy to confirm that Torkham is fully open for trade and movement of people."

The Torkham crossing is the main point of transit for travelers and goods between Pakistan and Afghanistan.
