Facilitation of trade between Afghanistan and Pakistan / six-month visa was issued for the passage of cargo vehicles
Pakistani DAWN media has reported that Naveed Qamar, the Minister of Commerce of Pakistan, on the sidelines of a meeting in Islamabad, announced the agreement to issue six-month visas for trucks and said that the issuance of visas will facilitate the flow between the two parties.
Afghan Voice Agency (AVA): Pakistan's trade minister said that the country is going to sign an agreement with Uzbekistan to issue six-month visas to truck drivers.
According to this Pakistani official, after these trucks will go not only to Afghanistan but also to Uzbekistan.
Regarding the demand for Afghan trucks to cross the Wagah border, he said that this is not possible at the moment due to political tensions with India.
According to Qamar, whenever India's relationship with Pakistan returns to normal, the passage through Wagah port will also resume its normal course.
Pakistan is now in an unrepentant political and economic crisis and feels the need to conclude economic agreements with Afghanistan and other countries in the region more than ever.
It should be mentioned that although Afghanistan has never blocked Pakistan's trade from the country's route, Pakistan has sometimes created problems for Afghan merchants by blocking the ports for the transfer of commercial goods.
