ISLAMABAD: After a three-year hiatus, Pakistan and China are set to resume trade from Monday through the Khunjerab Pass - the only land route between the two all-weather allies, a media report said. The Khunjerab Pass was closed in November 2019 to contain the transmission of the COVID-19 virus. The arrangements to reopen the border point for bilateral trade and other activities under the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC) have been finalised by both sides, a newspaper reported. The $60 billion CPEC, which connects Gwadar Port in Balochistan with China’s Xinjiang province, is the flagship project of Chinese President’s ambitious Belt and Road Initiative (BRI). Gilgit-Baltistan Home Secretary Rana Mohammad Saleem Afzal said that officials agreed to reopen Khunjerab Pass for trade and travel activities from April 3.
