The Khost provincial government’s press office has announced the reopening of the Ghulam Khan Port Road, which had been closed by Pakistan for nearly six weeks. This vital route is now accessible for freight vehicles.
The closure had significantly impacted traders and residents in Khost and Paktia provinces, leading to increased prices for food, construction materials, and other essential goods. Many traders also faced financial losses due to the halt in truck and commercial cargo operations.
With the reopening of the road, commercial activities in the region are expected to normalize, leading to a reduction in the prices of imported goods. Local residents have expressed relief, noting that the reactivation of this port will help revive their businesses and daily activities.
The Khost provincial government has reiterated the importance of keeping border gates open with neighboring countries, emphasizing that this fosters stronger economic relations between the peoples involved.
