Businessmen urge boost in Pak-Afghan trade

Sarhad Chamber of Commerce and Industry President Fazal Moqeem Khan urged the federal government and relevant authorities to take emergent steps to open the Pak-Afghan Highway for trade and transportation.

He added this will save traders on both sides of the border from further monetary losses.

In a statement issued on Sunday, Fazal Moqeem said bilateral trade, transit trade and export has come to an end due to the closure of Pak-Afghan Highway trade routes for the last several months.

He added Pak-Afghan mutual trade volume and transit trade had dropped to alarming levels.
