Pak-Afghan Trade Halted Over Security Concerns

Pak-Afghan trade remains suspended due to ongoing security threats, according to Samar Haroon Bilour, a representative from Pakistan. She emphasized that the resumption of trade routes hinges on resolving Pakistan’s security concerns and achieving cooperation from Afghan authorities.

Despite the persistent threat of terrorism, Bilour noted that law and order in the region has seen improvement. The governor’s adviser highlighted this progress in a statement released by her office.

Bilour also underscored the role of local councils in fostering peace through public engagement and intelligence operations. She further mentioned the Sehat Card program, which supports low-income families, but raised concerns about corruption and preferential treatment in its implementation.
