He said on Wednesday, 21st of Aqrab (November 12), during a press conference at the Arg that the closure of Pakistan's border crossings has not only harmed Afghan traders but has also confronted ordinary markets and people with serious problems.


Baradar identified the import of low-quality medicines from Pakistan as one of the major challenges facing Afghanistan's health sector and emphasized that hundreds of millions of dollars are spent annually in this regard. He called on medicine importers to replace Pakistan with other countries for drug supplies as soon as possible.


According to him, Afghan traders who currently have trade contracts with Pakistan have three months to settle their accounts and halt the import process from that country. He ordered that after the end of this period, the Ministry of Finance should no longer exempt medicine imports from Pakistan from customs duties.


The Taliban's deputy for economic affairs warned that if trade continues through the Afghanistan-Pakistan border crossings, in the event of any problems, the Taliban will bear no responsibility toward the traders.


Mullah Baradar emphasized that traders must activate alternative export and import routes as quickly as possible.


He cited Pakistan's instrumental use of transit and trade routes to achieve political goals as the reason for this decision and added that the Taliban administration will only reopen the border crossings if Pakistan provides "credible and sustainable guarantees" to prevent their closure once again.

Abdul Ghani Baradar, the Taliban's deputy for economic affairs, in response to the closure of commercial border crossings between Afghanistan and Pakistan, urged the country's traders and industrialists to seek alternative trade routes and markets instead of relying on Pakistan.
