Islamabad (Web Desk): The Khunjerab Pass will remain open till January 16 to facilitate trade between Pakistan and China.

The pass, which connects Gilgit Baltistan to China’s Xinjiang region, stands as the highest paved international border, cementing a vital link for both nations.

Traditionally closed from November to March due to extreme cold weather conditions, the pass has been temporarily reopened this week specifically to facilitate trade activities, the Radio Pakistan reported.
