The federal cabinet meeting on recommendations of the Ministry of Trade, approved Multi Model Air-Road Corridor for Afghan Transit Trade.

Pakistan opened its air trade route for commercial cargo destined to landlocked Afghanistan in October.

A bilateral transit treaty, enacted in 1965 and renegotiated in 2010 with the United States mediating, grants Kabul the right to conduct duty-free international trade through Pakistani airports, seaports and overland routes.

In turn, Pakistan is allowed to use the designated Afghan transit corridor to trade with Central Asian countries.
