ISLAMABAD - Pakistan has strongly reacted over the Afghan foreign Ministry statement on Torkham Border. Pakistan on Friday termed statement issued by Afghan Foreign Ministry regarding Torkham border crossing as irresponsible and unwarranted.
Foreign Office spokesman stated that Pakistan- Afghan border is an internationally recognised, official border between the two countries in accordance with all relevant international laws and conventions.
Pakistan believes that 24/7 opening of the Torkham point along Pakistan-Afghanistan border is a significant step forward to facilitate the people and traders of both sides. However, such statements only serve to undermine the resolve for peace and cooperation between the two countries and should be avoided.
