#Pakistan –Afghanistan Trade Suspension: A Strategic Move Strengthening Pakistan’s Security and Economic Interests Pakistan’s decision to close the Afghan border on 11 October 2025 is not a reactionary measure, but a deliberate and well-considered step aimed at reforming the entire trade and transit system. Pakistan has shut all routes that had become primary channels for smuggling, narcotics, illegal weapons, and terrorism. This trade suspension is a landmark decision with far-reaching implications for national security, economic stability, and the enforcement of state authority. Impact on Afghanistan Afghanistan is bearing the brunt of this closure—economically, socially, and institutionally. Nearly 70–80% of Afghanistan’s trade depends on Pakistan’s roads and ports. Goods reach Afghanistan from Karachi within 3–4 days, whereas via Iran they take 6–8 days, and through Central Asian corridors they may take over 30 days. For years, goods under Afghan Transit Trade were illegally re-entering Pakistan through smuggling, causing massive financial losses. Pakistan has been losing 3.4 trillion PKR annually due to smuggling, while nearly 1 trillion PKR worth of goods bounced back through Afghan Transit Trade, compounding the damage. The closure of Torkham alone inflicted $45 million losses on Afghanistan within one month, and in just a few weeks, Afghanistan’s cumulative losses exceeded $200 million. Over 5,000 trucks were stranded, Afghan agricultural produce spoiled, and transport costs via Iran rose 50–60%, with an additional $2,500 per container. Even the medical supply chain suffered, as over 50% of Afghanistan’s medicines transit through Pakistan. Alternative routes are slow, expensive, and insecure, and Afghanistan’s fragile economy cannot sustain these burdens. As smuggling stopped, more than 200,000 families tied to smuggling networks, backflow routes, and under-invoicing lost their source of income. Impact on Pakistan The trade suspension has almost no effect on the daily life of an average Pakistani, because the items entering Pakistan through smuggling were luxury goods, not essential commodities. Pakistan, on the other hand, has robust alternatives, including CPEC routes and direct land connectivity with China, ensuring continuity of legitimate trade. By blocking illicit routes, Pakistan is dismantling smuggling networks, curbing arms and narcotics trafficking, and reducing the movement of terror operatives. Regional Rebalancing & Long-Term Gains The closure will push Afghanistan’s trade—previously concentrated in eastern provinces like Paktia—toward alternative corridors such as Iran and Central Asia, promoting diversification and economic inclusivity within Afghanistan. In the long term—5 to 10 years—Pakistan will benefit from a cleaner, regulated, and more secure regional trade architecture. The Road Ahead The Afghan Taliban must now choose: Will they continue sheltering terrorists, or join Pakistan in a cooperative path toward regional stability and shared economic progress? Pakistan’s strategy is clear: secure borders, regulated trade, and zero tolerance for smuggling and terrorism—a policy that ultimately strengthens both states’ futures.

Islamabad: JUI Chief Maulana Fazl ur Rehman attended the 3rd Joint Consultative Meeting (JCM) of Political Parties of Pakistan and China on #CPEC, held today in Islamabad. The event was co-chaired by the Senator Mohammad Ishaq Dar, Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Minister of Pakistan and Mr. Liu Jianchao, Minister of International Department of the Communist Party of China. Maulana Fazl ur Rehman: There is a consensus in Pakistan regarding Pak-China relations. Pak-China friendship has always transcended our political differences. Pakistan attaches importance to peaceful co-existence and cooperative relations in the region and supports progress towards it. Pakistan believes in peaceful and equitable resolution of disputes. We are grateful that China has always supported Pakistan unconditionally on the Kashmir issue and Pakistan has also always supported China unconditionally on the Taiwan issue. Pak-China relations, which were mentioned by the speakers before me, is a shared vision of all of us and I am proud that JUI Pakistan and CPEC are friends and we want to make this friendship meaningful and see it beneficial for the people of both countries. The credit for the progress made in this regard also goes to the Parliament of Pakistan and the CPC when in 1995 the CPC (China) invited the Foreign Committee of the National Assembly of Pakistan and briefed us on the new economic vision. Then on behalf of Pakistan, we presented Pakistan's "Trade Via Pakistan" concept. And for seven days, we discussed this topic in every meeting continuously, and after seven days, the CPEC informed our delegation that they supported the proposal. I regret that by today it should have been completed, but some obstacles have definitely come in the middle, which are a matter of concern for us as well as for you, but China-Pakistan's commitment to CPEC is strong. With this commitment, we also have to complete all the suspended projects and Insha-Allah we have to lay the foundations of cooperation with each other in different fields, take them forward and China & Pakistan will prove to be the top priority in each other's friendship and relations all over the world and no obstacle will be allowed in it. I warmly welcome you and your entire delegation. This conversation will further strengthen the relations between the two countries. Thank you very much
