Afghanistan and DP World to operate cargo land borders

DP World has signed a pact with the Government of Afghanistan to improve and operate the country’s busiest land borders at Torkham and Hairatan, said Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Chairman and Group CEO, DP World. These two points are major cargo routes, handling billions of dollars’ worth of goods moving between Afghanistan, Pakistan, Central Asia and other neighbouring regions. “Afghanistan is uniquely positioned to benefit from stronger links with its neighbours. These gateways already support significant trade flows and modernising them will help unlock far greater potential across the region. We believe that smarter, well-managed border infrastructure can create pathways to stability and opportunity, and we are committed to supporting Afghanistan as it builds a more connected and prosperous future,” he added.
