flag For over three months, Pakistan has kept its border with Afghanistan closed, halting trade and stranding truck drivers near the Torkham crossing. flag The closure, triggered by escalating violence and mutual accusations over militant activity, has paralyzed economic exchanges, with businesses reporting major losses and disrupted supply chains for essential goods. flag Pakistan cites security concerns linked to militant groups like the TTP, while Afghanistan denies harboring them and accuses Pakistan of airstrikes. flag Despite multiple peace talks, no resolution has been reached, and alternative routes through China and Iran face significant challenges. flag A joint business committee advocates for reopening, but governments prioritize security over economic recovery, leaving the border shut with no end in sight.
