The Taliban government in Afghanistan has claimed that it has no formal border with Pakistan, TOLO News reported on Sunday.

“We do not have a formal border with Pakistan and there is no zero point as well. This (Durand Line) is an imaginary line between us,” acting Afghan Minister of Borders and Tribal Affairs Noorullah Noori told media during a visit to the Torkham border crossing.

The statement came days after the Torkham border crossing was reopened for trade after 10 days of closure. The border was closed on January 13 in a row over document rules for commercial vehicle drivers crossing.

According to Noori, the border between Islamabad and Kabul was “still unclear” and that the two countries have “imaginary lines.”

The Torkham crossing – equidistant between the capitals Islamabad and Kabul – was frequently shut last year, with tensions sometimes spilling over into armed clashes between border guards across the frontier.

Replying to a question regarding the occasional tension on the border between the two countries, Noori said that Afghanistan was trying to resolve them in a “proper way.”
