Peshawar: The Torkham border between Pakistan and Afghanistan will open again for trade today (Wednesday) after being closed for 25 days. This comes after successful talks between officials of both countries. The border was shut on February 21 when Afghan forces started building something inside Pakistan’s area, causing tensions.

Syed Jawad Hussain Kazmi, head of Pakistan’s tribal jirga, said Afghan officials have promised to remove the construction that sparked the dispute. He added that a ceasefire will stay in place until the Joint Coordination Committee (JCC) meeting happens, keeping peace in the area. Kazmi also said Pakistani security officials are happy with Afghanistan’s decision.

A flag meeting between both countries’ representatives will take place soon, after which the trade route will fully reopen.

Customs officials say the Torkham crossing handles trade worth about $3 million daily and sees around 10,000 people crossing each day. The reopening will boost the economy and help traders and locals who depend on this key route.

Earlier this week, Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed on a ceasefire and to reopen the Torkham route for all traffic after weeks of jirga meetings.
