Pakistan withdrew action on border security with Afghanistan, said Babar Iftikhar, a spokesman for Pakistan's armed forces.
“Currently, 90% of Pakistan's border with Afghanistan is protected by fencing,” he said.
Iftikhar told Dawn that border security is a “two-way street.” He said Kabul had also taken security measures, but “this has not happened.”
In early July, Pakistan's Interior Ministry said it did not intend to open borders to refugees from Afghanistan due to their influx following the withdrawal of US and NATO forces. from the country and the consequent deterioration of the situation with the Taliban.
It should be noted that there is a possibility of an “Iranian model” of detaining refugees who settle along the border but will not be allowed to settle in the cities of the host country.
