Trade at Milak Border Crossing With Afghanistan Back to Normal

A total of 411,567 tons of non-oil goods were traded through Milak border crossing with Afghanistan during the four months ending July 21, Teymour Baqeri, an official with Sistan-Baluchestan Maintenance and Transportation Organization, said recently. 
“After some ups and downs over the past two months, commercial exchanges via Milak are back to normal. Close to 300 trucks have been crossing the border daily since August 14,” he was quoted as saying by IRNA. 
Noting that Milak is one of the major strategic junctions that connects landlocked Afghanistan to international waters through Iran, the official said over the past month, the movement of trucks and goods carriers was delayed due to a strike by Afghan truckers and their blockade of the return route of Iranian trucks and the retaliation of Iranians.
