Pakistan PM Calls for Improvement of Track System for Afghan Transit Trade

Anwarul Haq Kakar, Pakistan’s Interim Prime Minister, has called for additional measures to improve the tracking system for Afghanistan's transit trade.

Reportedly, Kakar issued this directive during a meeting which had been held to assess Afghanistan's transit trade.

On Monday, the Associated Press of Pakistan reported that Kakar has called for the immediate establishment of a transit trade management system.

The Ministers of Finance and Industries and Commerce from the states of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Baluchistan were in attendance at this meeting.

Addressing these officials, the Pakistani Prime Minister emphasised that one of the primary reasons for the weakness in the country's economy is smuggling and illegal transportation of goods.

Kakar has ordered the reinforcement of the monitoring system at Chaman, Torkham, Ghulam Khan check posts, and the border areas of Baluchistan.
