A key border crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan has reopened after brief closure in the wake of a clash over fencing of the Durand Line.
The Friendship Gate in Spinboldak district of Kandahar was shut in the wake of a skirmish between Afghan and Pakistani security forces over fencing along the border.
Officials from the two countries, however, met on Monday and decided to reopen the crossing for those crossing by foot. But it will remain closed for commercial traffic.
Despite objections from the neighboring country, Pakistan started fencing the 2,400 kilometers border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces.
