Pakistan has decided to open all border terminals with Afghanistan for pedestrian traffic, says a senior diplomat.
Pakistan’s Special Representative for Afghanistan Mohammad Sadiq tweeted that the terminals would remain open on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.
The ambassador wrote the border crossings with Afghanistan would be reverted to the pre COVID-19 schedule shortly.
“All border terminals with Afghanistan located in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, including Torkham, will be opened for pedestrian traffic.”
The crossings would fully revert to the pre-coronavirus schedule shortly. Officials at the border crossings were being informed, he added.
Sadiq’s tweet came as High Council for National Reconciliation Chairman Dr Abdullah arrived in Islamabad on a three-day visit the invitation of Prime Minister Imran Khan.
On Monday, Abdullah kicked off his visit with a “constructive meeting” with Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi at the Foreign Office.
