Tahir Andrabi, spokesperson for Pakistan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, announced that trade routes with Afghanistan will remain closed until Islamabad receives security guarantees from Kabul.
This decision reflects Pakistan’s deep security concerns over the unstable situation in Afghanistan.
Pakistan emphasizes that without clear assurances, reopening borders and facilitating trade is not possible, which could significantly impact the economies of both countries.
This stance comes amid ongoing sensitive and tense relations between the two neighbors.
Diplomatic talks are expected to continue to reach security agreements that would pave the way for economic and trade cooperation.
