Torkham Border Reopens After Visa Dispute

Peshawar: The Torkham border crossing has reopened after a brief closure. The closure was initiated by Afghanistan in response to Pakistan’s imposition of visa requirements for Afghan drivers.

Following constructive negotiations between the two nations, an agreement was reached, leading to the reopening of the Torkham border on Tuesday. This development brings relief to both sides, particularly for traders and travelers who were adversely affected by the disruption.

The closure had led to a significant backlog of trucks carrying essential goods and left hundreds of travelers stranded. Fortunately, with the Torkham border is now open, officials are swiftly clearing cargo vehicles and passengers, ensuring a return to normalcy in trade and movement.

The collaborative effort to resolve this issue is a testament to the diplomatic ties between Pakistan and Afghanistan, fostering optimism for continued cooperation and smoother cross-border activities in the future.
