The Torkham border crossing between Pakistan and Afghanistan has been reopened for trade after 10 days of closure, authorities said on Tuesday.
According to authorities, the first truck carrying goods from Afghanistan has already entered Pakistan.
Afghanistan’s consular general in Peshawar held talks with Pakistani authorities that led to the ongoing issue of unlicensed drivers being resolved.
Under the new agreement, drivers from Afghanistan now have till March 1 to get their documents in order.
After April 1, any drivers not in possession of relevant documents will be denied entry from Afghanistan into Pakistan.
The wrangling over trade and visas comes months after Pakistan launched an operation to remove undocumented Afghan refugees from its territory.
Over 500,000 refugees have since left the country, some voluntarily and others through deportation.
