Border Market Opens Along Iran-Pakistan Border

A border market has been opened along the Iran-Pakistan border at Gabd, a town adjacent to Gwadar.
The purpose of establishing the market is to facilitate imports and exports between Pakistan and Iran. The market’s operation has been handed over to the Gwadar district administration, Pakistani newspaper Dawn reported on Sunday.
Officials said the market includes shops, offices and warehouses, adding that it will provide employment opportunities to the people of Gwadar, benefit local businessmen and boost the economy. 
“It was a longstanding demand of the people living along the Pakistan-Iran border,” an unnamed official of the Gwadar administration said.
The market, established on 10 acres, was established to facilitate trade between people living on both sides of the border.
