Border trade between Pakistan & China to resume next week after 3 years

Gawadhar to Kashgarh Khunjerab Pass

Islamabad, Apr 1 (PTI) After a three-year hiatus, Pakistan and China are set to resume trade from Monday through the Khunjerab Pass - the only land route between the two all-weather allies, a media report said on Saturday.

The Khunjerab Pass was closed in November 2019 to contain the transmission of the COVID-19 virus between the two countries.

The arrangements to reopen the border point for bilateral trade and other activities under the China-Pakistan Eco­nomic Corridor (CPEC) have been finalised by both sides, the Dawn newspaper reported.
