Since the opening of the Wagah border crossing between Pakistan and India, six more trucks from Afghanistan crossed over on Monday to facilitate transit trade.
Six Afghan trucks, three carrying liquorice and three carrying dried fruits, crossed over, an Indian customs official said.
On Saturday, two trucks, both carrying liquorice had also entered.
Afghan exports to India had been suspended due to the COVID-19 induced lockdown and Pakistan’s subsequent closures of its borders with both countries.
“Proper norms for he containment of the Coronavirus are being followed while unloading the Afghan goods at the Integrated Check Post,” the Indian official said.
Exports from Afghanistan to India resumed on July 15 when Pakistan announced it would be reopening the Wagah border crossing to facilitate Afghanistan’s transit trade.
