Iranian authorities have indicated to open nine more zero-point gates on the Pak-Iran border along with five districts of Balochistan for boosting trade activities with Pakistan.
The idea was discussed at a meeting of the Pak-Iran Permanent Border Committee held recently in Mir Javah, an Iranian town on the Pak-Iran border.
Deputy commissioners of five districts — Gwadar, Chagai, Turbat, Panjgur and Washuk — and senior officials of Frontier Corps represented Pakistan. The Iranian team headed by Deputy Director Law-Enforcement Hasan Najad comprised 10 senior civil and military officials.
Pakistani officials suggested that more zero-point gates should be opened at the border for the promotion of trading activities while their Iranian counterparts agreed to look into it.
