Islamabad, May 18, 2023 (PPI-OT): Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and Iran’s President Seyed Ebrahim Raisi will jointly inaugurate Mand-Pishin border sustenance marketplace and Polan-Gabd electricity transmission line at Mand-Pishin border crossing point today.
In a statement, the Foreign Office said this would be one of the six border markets to be constructed along Pak-Iran border. The Mand-Pishin border sustenance marketplace will provide a thriving platform for increasing cross-border trade, fostering economic growth, and opening up new avenues of opportunity for local businesses.
The joint inauguration is a manifestation of the strong commitment of Pakistan and Iran to uplift the welfare of residents of the neighbouring provinces of Balochistan and Sistan-o-Baluchestan, respectively. It would also serve as a significant stride forward in the bilateral relationship between the two countries.
