Pakistan Reopens Gabd-Rimdan Border Crossing with Iran After Week-Long Trade Suspension
Pakistan reopened the Gabd-Rimdan border crossing with Iran after a week-long suspension that disrupted trade and stranded freight vehicles. The closure, attributed to security concerns and technical issues, aggravated LPG shortages and increased prices ahead of winter. The reopening follows Pakistan Army chief Asim Munir's visit to Iran and is expected to ease supply chain disruptions, providing relief to traders and reducing energy and food costs across Pakistan. Both countries continue discussions on trade resumption amid heightened security measures.
