Iran, Pakistan to open four security border posts
Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik said on Thursday that
Iran and Paklistan will establish four security stations on the
borders between the two countries.
Malik also said that Iran's Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad
Najjar will soon be visiting Pakistan to sign the joint
agreement.
The Pakistani official also said that a free trade zone between the
two countries will be established near the security posts at the
border.
Speaking on other issues, the minister noted that starting from
March 8, no one would be able to cross Afghan-Pakistani border
without visa.
"Despite numerous requests from Pakistan, Afghanistan did not set
control over the illegal border crossing from its side," Malik
said. "Thus the Pakistani government has decided to take it under
precise control to stop the drug smuggling into the country."
