ISLAMABAD: Pakistan on Wednesday announced to facilitate cargo trucks and containers to enter Afghanistan through Torkham and Chaman border crossing points, the Foreign Ministry said here.
The decision was taken in response to a special request of the Afghan government, as well as humanitarian considerations, the foreign office said in a statement, adding that the two border-crossings at Torkham in northwest Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Chaman in southwest Balochistan province will be opened thrice a week (on Monday, Wednesday and Friday) from April 10 onwards.
“As a neighbor and in view of fraternal relations, Pakistan remains in abiding solidarity with the people of Afghanistan, particularly at this time of global pandemic,” the statement added.
