Pakistan and China have agreed to reopen the Khunjerab Pass route for trade activities.
The border remained closed for over a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The authorities on both sides of the border have been ordered to ensure strict implementation of the Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and screening of all those who cross the border.
Earlier this month, Islamabad had asked China to reopen the border to facilitate cross-border trade and people-to-people exchanges.
