Xinhua (19 June 2020)

Pakistani and Afghan officials have agreed to reopen a key route for cross-border trade between the two countries starting next Monday, aiming to give a major boost to bilateral trade as it will facilitate economic activities in both countries.

Pakistan had closed the Ghulam Khan border in North Waziristan tribal district in June, 2014 after the military launched a major operation against the Pakistani and foreign militants in the area, and conducted trial run for reopening the border crossing in March, 2018.

Afghan Ambassador to Pakistan Atif Mashal confirmed to Xinhua Thursday evening that Pakistan had agreed to open the Ghulam Khan crossing point next Monday.
