Pakistan to maintain closure of the Afghan-border corridors

ISLAMABAD: Pakistan has declared to maintain closure of the border corridors with Afghanistan amid the security concerns.

The spokesperson of Pakistan’s foreign office has said that keeping in view the strain on the border erupting in the last week, the Pak-Afghan trade corridor will remain closed.

For Pakistan, the protection of a common citizen is more important than the transportation of the goods and trade.

According to the spokesperson of the foreign office, in the Doha peace talks, a document was signed and agreed upon.

Now it does not make much of a difference whether the Taliban government calls it an agreement or not.

The spokesperson has said that Pakistan will abide by the international law about the Kunar River.

According to the spokesperson of the Foreign Office, the Pak-Afghan trade corridors will maintain the closure on account of the strain on border during the last week.

Pakistan reckons to secure the life of a common national more important than the transportation of goods and trade.

Talking about the bilateral terms of Afghanistan and India, the spokesperson of the foreign office said that India’s move of reopening the embassy in Afghanistan is the personnel matter of the two countries.

We do not remark on the bilateral terms of the two countries.

India’s role in Afghanistan has not been a positive one.

While being questioned about Israel, the Foreign Office’s spokesperson said that Israel is violating the international laws quite bluntly.

We will keep highlighting this matter. We are taking a good look at the violations by Israel and its consequences.

The emergence of the Palestinian state is the roadmap we are standing at.

It is worth mentioning that due to the Pak-Afghan strain, the border corridors on the Chaman, Khyber, South and North Waziristan and Kurram District are closed even on the 13th day.

Some hundreds of vehicles carrying goods are stuck on Friendship Gate, Angoor Ada and Ghulam Sarwar border.
