Brigadier Sohail speaking at the ceremony said, “A flag lowering ceremony will take place at the Pak-Afghan Friendship Gate, in Chaman, every Friday.” He added “Pakistan and Afghanistan are not only neighbours but they are also Muslim brotherly countries, who have a history of friendly ties,” he said.
