Security officials from Pakistan and Afghanistan failed to agree on reopening the Torkham border, a vital crossing point.

According to official sources, despite the deadlock, both sides were optimistic that a resolution could emerge within the week.

The two nations’ border security teams met at Zero Point around midday, each outlining their stance. Both insisted on honoring existing protocols for any changes to the border structure. Pakistan signaled readiness to resume operations, but Afghan officials requested more time to consult higher authorities. “We’re waiting for a positive response,” a Pakistani official noted.

Anticipating a breakthrough, customs and immigration departments summoned staff to duty on Sunday. However, with no deal reached, they returned home. Local sources reported hundreds of Afghans gathered near the Torkham border, eager to cross back into Afghanistan. Their hopes faded as the day wore on without progress. Meanwhile, a youth organization provided Iftar meals to stranded travelers in Torkham and Landi Kotal.

Though Sunday’s talks fell short, officials remain hopeful. Pakistan’s willingness to reopen contrasts with Afghanistan’s need for internal discussions. The Torkham border, a key trade and travel link, has been a focal point of tension, but both sides appear committed to finding common ground. “We expect Afghan officials to return with good news soon,” a source added.

The closure of the Torkham border affects thousands, from traders to families seeking reunion. With no immediate resolution, attention now turns to this week’s developments. Will diplomacy prevail, or will delays persist? For now, stranded Afghans and border staff wait—and hope—for a swift outcome.
