KHUNJERAB, June 1 (Gwadar Pro) - Pakistan and China have opened the Khunjerab pass for trade and travel activities.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ Pak-China Division stated in a letter to the Gilgit Baltistan chief secretary that the border point has been opened. China has also opened its side of the border point, it added.

The Chinese embassy in Islamabad also informed the ministry about the opening of the border crossing and asked it to open its side of the border point for resumption of trade and travel between the two countries, said The Nation.

The border point between the two neighboring countries was closed in October 2019 following the coronavirus outbreak.

Last year in June, the government of Gilgit Baltistan (GB) delayed its decision of opening Khunjerab pass as part of precautionary measures to stop the coronavirus’ possible entry into Pakistan from China.

Trade and travel activities through Khunjerab pass carry on from April to December as per the protocol agreement signed between Islamabad and Beijing.
