Islamabad has rejected Afghan government's statement that it doesn't recognize the Durand Line as an official border between Afghanistan and Pakistan.

The row comes after the two neighbours launched round-the-clock operations at the Torkham crossing with Pakistan installing a signboard that called Torkham as border.
Afghan foreign ministry in a statement appreciated Pakistan’s act on its commitment regarding round-the-clock operationalization of the crossing.
However, it emphasized on its stance of not recognizing the Durand Line as an official between the two countries.
Pakistan foreign ministry in a statement rejected the Afghan statement as “irresponsible and unwarranted” saying the line is an internationally recognized official border between the two countries.
“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,” the statement said.
