The officials discussed fencing and other points pertaining to border issues.
Officials from the Afghan side requested that the Pakistani counterparts keep the Pak-Afghan border at Torkham open till 9 pm because a large number of people were waiting to enter Pakistan, mostly those needing medical attention, while trucks carrying perishables were also waiting to get through.
Both sides’ officials stressed the need for such meetings to be held every month so tension regarding border management is defused.
