Pakistan reopens Iran border crossing after week-long trade halt
Pakistan reopened the Gabd-Rimdan border crossing with Iran after a week-long suspension of trade. The reopening is expected to ease a shortage of cooking gas, known as LPG. It is also expected to lower food and energy prices.
Why it matters
Households in southwestern Pakistan rely on Iranian fuel and food crossing this border.
Background
Pakistan and Iran share a long border through Balochistan. Cross-border trade supplies fuel and goods to remote areas.
