QUETTA: Pakistan has restored trade visa facilities at the Taftan border after nearly a year, marking a significant development for cross-border trade with Iran.
According to a notification issued by the Balochistan Home Department, the decision has officially reactivated trade-related movement across the Pakistan-Iran border point, opening a new phase in bilateral commercial activity.
The restoration of the visa facility is expected to strengthen trade ties between Pakistan and Iran, while also creating fresh employment opportunities in border regions.
Local traders have welcomed the move, calling it a positive step for the economy and regional connectivity, and expressing relief over the end of a prolonged suspension.
Business stakeholders said the decision would help revive stalled trade flows and improve economic activity in southwestern Pakistan, particularly in Balochistan.
