Pakistan Reopens Gabd-Rimdan Border Crossing with Iran After Week-Long Suspension
Pakistan reopened the Gabd-Rimdan border crossing with Iran after a week-long suspension that disrupted trade and stranded freight vehicles, worsening LPG shortages ahead of winter. The reopening allows commercial consignments dated October 16 or earlier to cross, easing supply chain disruptions and expected to reduce energy and food prices. The closure, linked to security concerns, followed an attack on stranded trucks. The resumption comes shortly after Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir's visit to Iran, where bilateral relations were discussed.
