Pakistan’s government has approved new transit corridors for goods traded with Iran under the “Transit of Goods through Territory of Pakistan Order 2026.” This decision, announced by Joint Secretary (FT-II) Maria Qazi from the Ministry of Commerce, aims to bolster economic activity and connectivity.

The order allows cargo movement between Pakistan and Iran via TIR Convention routes. Key corridors include Gwadar-Gabd, Karachi/Port Qasim-Lyari-Ormara-Pasni-Gabd, and others like Karachi/Port Qasim-Khuzdar-Dalbandin-Taftan.

Quetta business leaders welcomed the move, seeing it as a significant step for regional trade. The Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s President, Haji Muhammad Ayub Mariani, noted that these corridors will boost employment in Balochistan and improve trade flows between Pakistan and Iran.

Officials highlighted that this initiative would not strain domestic industries but enhance Pakistan’s economic role, generate foreign exchange through transit fees, and ensure better use of ports like Gwadar.
