"Thousands" of trailers and trucks are still on the Iran-Pakistan side of the border.
AFP quoted business representatives in southwestern Pakistan as saying that despite a limited resumption of land trade between Iran and Pakistan, there are still "thousands" of trucks and trailers on both sides of the border between the two countries.
Mir Naveed Jan Kalmati, head of Pakistan's Gwadar Chamber of Commerce and Industry, said the border with Iran was being opened "limitedly" and many vehicles were waiting at the border.
According to this local Pakistani official, "there are three to four thousand trucks on the Iranian side and two to three thousand on the Pakistani side."
He added that after a week of closing this border crossing, only certain vehicles will be allowed to pass to reduce the traffic of the battalion trucks.
Reza Amiri Mujadam, Iran's ambassador to Islamabad, said yesterday that Iran currently has no restrictions on exports, including liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) to Pakistan. He saw the change in Pakistan's electronic import form filling process as creating a situation that effectively allowed traders to send shipments from Iran to Pakistan.
