KHYBER, (Pakistan): After ten days of hectic shuttle diplomacy spearheaded by tribal elders from both sides, the Torkham border reopened on Wednesday (March 19) for trade and medical emergencies following an almost month-long closure due to a border dispute between Islamabad and Kabul.
The delegates from both sides met at zero point in the afternoon for a brief reopening ceremony, lasting about half an hour.
