Pakistan, İran Sınırındaki Taftan Gümrük İstasyonunu Resmileştirdi

Summary · AI generated

Pakistan Federal Gelir İdaresi (FBR), İran sınırındaki Taftan kasabasında yeni bir kara gümrük istasyonu kurulduğunu resmen duyurdu. SRO1055/2026 sayılı gümrük tebliğine göre, 11,75 dönümlük Taftan Tren İstasyonu arazisi kara gümrük istasyonu olarak belirlendi. Bu adım, Pakistan’ın İran ile ticaret altyapısını resmileştirme ve genişletme yönündeki çabalarını ortaya koyuyor. Taftan, Pakistan ve İran arasındaki ana geçiş noktalarından biri olarak sınır ticaretinde stratejik bir konuma sahip. Yeni gümrük istasyonu, yasal ticaret hacmini artırmayı, sınır geçiş süreçlerini düzenlemeyi ve kaçakçılığı azaltmayı hedefliyor. İran’a uygulanan uluslararası yaptırımlar nedeniyle ikili ticaret zaman zaman kesintiye uğrasa da, iki ülke ekonomik iş birliğini derinleştirmeye yönelik adımlar atmaya devam ediyor. FBR’nin bu düzenlemesi, Pakistan-İran ilişkilerinde ticaret ekseninde atılan somut bir gelişme olarak kayda geçiyor. Sınır altyapısının güçlendirilmesi, diplomatik gerginliklerin gölgesinde kalan ekonomik potansiyeli canlandırma amacı taşıyor. Adımın, özellikle enerji ve gıda gibi sektörlerde sınır ötesi yatırımları teşvik etmesi bekleniyor.

    Taftan formalised for trade with Iran

    Islamabad, Pakistan

    ISLAMABAD: The Federal Board of Revenue (FBR) has formally notified the establishment of a new land customs station at the border town of Taftan, a move that signals renewed focus on formalising and expanding Pakistan’s trade infrastructure with Iran. According to a customs notification SRO1055 of 2026, the FBR has declared the Railway Station Taftan, spread over 11.75 acres, as a land customs station for the loading, unloading and clearance of imported and exported goods. The notification specifies the facility’s geographical limits and brings the railway-linked terminal into the formal customs network. The development is expected to facilitate cargo handling through rail connectivity at Taftan, which has historically remained underutilised despite its strategic location as Pakistan’s primary land gateway to Iran. Land customs station status aims to reduce informal channels and lower transport costs By granting the status of a land customs station, tax officials aim to streamline documentation, clearance, and inspection processes, while reducing reliance on informal or fragmented trade channels. The move comes in the backdrop of Pakistan’s ongoing efforts to expand formal trade with Iran, which has long been constrained by sanctions, limited banking channels, and weak border infrastructure. Pak-Iran officials have made repeated commitments to raise bilateral trade volumes to $5 billion, but actual trade has remained significantly below potential, largely due to logistical bottlenecks and regulatory gaps. One recurring issue has been the lack of fully functional customs and transport facilities at border crossings, which has restricted the movement of goods and discouraged large-scale commercial transactions. The notification appears to address part of that structural gap by operationalising rail-based cargo clearance at Taftan. Trade analysts suggest that integrating rail infrastructure with customs operations could reduce transportation costs and improve efficiency for bulk goods, particularly in sectors such as agriculture, minerals, and petroleum products, which dominate cross-border trade. The formal recognition of Taftan railway station as a land customs station marks a step toward institutionalising trade routes that have long operated below capacity, and reflects a broader policy direction aimed at normalising economic engagement with Iran through documented and regulated channels.

    Pakistan links Iran trade prospects to sanctions relief

    Pakistan

    • FO expects technical talks to resume on Tuesday • Hopes Hormuz tensions will ease with diplomatic progress • Urges Afghanistan to prevent terrorism emanating from its soil • Says govt pursuing release of crew members from hijacked tanker ISLAMABAD: Pakis­tan on Wednesday expre­ssed optimism over ongoing high-level technical talks between Iran and the United States, saying progress in trade and economic cooperation with Iran would be linked to the easing of international sanctions on Tehran. Addressing the weekly press briefing, Foreign Of­f­ice spokesperson Tahir Hus­sain Andrabi said the pathway towards sanctions relief for Iran had alre­ady been initiated thr­o­ugh talks held in Buergenstock, Switzerland. He described the process as a positive development and expressed the hope that the negotiations would produce constructive results as they moved forward. Responding to a question, the spokesman said there had been a temporary pause in technical-level discussions between Iran and the United States and that the talks would resume next Tuesday, in the presence of a Pakistani delegation. He said the continuation of dialogue between the two sides was itself an encouraging sign. “It is a very positive dev­e­lopment that both parties are engaged in talks and remain at the negotiating table,” he remarked. Commenting on the situation in the Strait of Hormuz, the spokesman said tensions were likely to ease as diplomatic efforts progressed. However, he noted that a complete return to normal operations in the strategically important waterway could take some time due to operational requirements. On a question regarding control of the Strait of Hormuz, the spokesperson said Pakistan supported the initiatives of the Gulf Cooperation Council and believed in regional ownership of regional issues. He stressed the importance of respecting the territorial integrity and sovereignty of all states in the region. Discussing the recent visit of Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian to Pakistan, Mr Andrabi said the two sides held extensive discussions on a range of issues, including expansion of trade, investment and economic cooperation. He noted that progress in bilateral economic projects and trade expansion would move forward alongside the lifting of sanctions imposed on Iran. “The overall progress of economic projects and opening up of trade with Iran will take place simultaneously with the lifting of sanctions by the United States,” he said. Responding to a query regarding a proposed financing package of $300 billion for Iran, Mr Andrabi said the matter was expected to be discussed during the ongoing technical-level talks in Switzerland. On Afghanistan, the spokesperson said Pakistan had implemented most of its commitments related to bilateral engagement and that Deputy Prime Minister Ishaq Dar had personally monitored the process, but certain developments later created difficulties for diplomatic efforts. He reiterated Pakistan’s position that Afghan territory should not be used for terrorist activities against Pakistan. “If diplomacy is to move forward, the starting point should be a clear assurance from Afghanistan that its soil will not be used for terrorism against Pakistan,” he said. Andrabi acknowledged China’s constructive role in facilitating understanding between Pakistan and Afghanistan. He said Pakistan would continue to work closely with China to promote regional peace and cooperation. “Our engagement on Afghanistan continues, and the simple solution is for the Afghan side to uphold its commitments under international law,” he added. Replying to a query regarding Pakistan’s representation at the funeral of the late Iranian supreme leader Ali Khamenei, the spokesperson said no final decision had yet been made regarding who would attend the funeral on behalf of Pakistan. Giving details on the implementation of the Islamabad Memorandum of Understanding signed by the US and Iran, the spokesperson said Pakistan and Qatar had hosted the first high-level committee meeting in Switzerland on June 21, attended by senior representatives from Pakistan, the US, Iran and Qatar. He said the parties agreed on a roadmap to reach a final agreement within 60 days, establish political oversight and technical working groups, create direct communication channels to prevent incidents in the Strait of Hormuz, and set up a de-confliction mechanism involving Lebanon. He said a technical-level meeting followed on June 22, with Pakistan and Qatar continuing their mediation efforts. The Foreign Office welcomed international recognition of Pakistan’s role in promoting dialogue, peace and de-escalation, while also appreciating the responsible conduct of Pakistani media in maintaining confidentiality during the mediation process. The spokesperson said Deputy PM Ishaq Dar attended the fourth R-4 Foreign Ministers’ Meeting in Cairo on June 21 alongside counterparts from Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Turkiye. The group reviewed progress on the Islamabad MoU and discussed regional peace and security issues. Dar also continued extensive diplomatic engagements with foreign ministers from several countries, including Switzerland, Turkiye, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, China, Japan, Italy, Canada, Bahrain, Azerbaijan, Iran and Uzbekistan. Regarding the hijacking of the oil tanker MT Honour 25 off Somalia, carrying 10 Pakistani crew members among the hostages, the spokesperson said Pakistan was pursuing diplomatic and humanitarian efforts for their safe release through engagement with Somali authorities and international partners. On Palestine, he said Pakistan had joined eight Islamic-Arab countries in condemning escalating violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and attacks on mosques near Ramallah. The spokesperson also announced that Pakistan had facilitated the repatriation of 30 Iranian nationals, inc­luding rescued fishermen and crew members detained after maritime incidents, in coordination with Iran­ian, US and UK authorities.
