Background:
During the recent visit (20211100) by the Afghan delegation, interim foreign minister Ameer Khan Muttaqi, it was decided to resume the bus service from Peshawar's Kharkhano market area to Afghanistan's Jalabad. An Afghan official added that the final go-ahead is awaited from the security services of both countries.

The bus service between the two countries was suspended in 2016. The resumption of the service will help mitigate pedestrian traffic at the border crossings and will facilitate Afghan civilians living in or near Jalalabad.
