Cross-border trade between Pakistan–Afghanistan resumed to normal on November 22, following the suspension of a recent visa rule by Islamabad, as confirmed by officials from both countries.
Commercial traffic ceased on November 21 as Pakistan mandated commercial vehicle crews to possess passports and visas for entry. In response, Afghanistan blocked the passage of all trucks.
Officials from Pakistan’s Ministry of Commerce held discussions with Afghan counterparts, resulting in an agreement to extend Afghan drivers’ permissions for an additional two weeks, as stated by a Pakistan customs official.
The governor of Afghanistan’s Nangarhar Province confirmed the resumption of cross-border trade.
