A day after Pakistan and Afghanistan agreed to ensure maintenance of a ceasefire on the border and resume talks to salvage the peace process that hit snags early this week, the Torkham border crossing between Afghanistan and Pakistan was reopened on Saturday. The reopening of the Tokham border allows the return of Afghan refugees after a nearly two-week closure. This positive news between the two nations comes after deadly border clashes last month, as reported by news agencies.
According to officials, the decision to reopen the border transport comes after a ceasefire between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which was formalised in Doha on October 19, continues to hold.
