Pakistan to open third trading route with Afghanistan to clear backlog: Razak Dawood

Advisor to Prime Minister on Commerce Abdul Razak Dawood says Ghulam Khan crossing point is being opened as third major trading route with Afghanistan to immediately clear the backlog.

In a tweet after his meeting with Afghan ambassador Atif Mashal in Islamabad today [Saturday], the Advisor said this comes in addition to government's decision to open Torkham and Chaman crossings for transit trade six days a week.

Abdul Razak Dawood informed the ambassador that Afghan imports will be allowed at all three crossing points from Monday subject to following of Covid-19 SOPs.

The Afghan ambassador extended invitation to Advisor to visit Kabul with a trade delegation next month.
