PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): A key border crossing between Afghanistan.
The Friendship Gate in Balochistan’s Chaman district was shut in the wake of a skirmish between Afghan and Pakistani security forces over fencing along the border.
Officials from the two countries, however, met on Monday and decided to reopen the border for those crossing by foot. But it will remain closed for commercial traffic.
Despite objections from the neighbouring country, Pakistan started fencing the 2,400 kilometres border in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces.
