Islamabad: The Pakistan-Afghanistan Torkham border crossing has been reopened after Pakistani Army Chief General Raheel Sharif and Afghan Ambassador Omar Zakhilwal reached an understanding on this.

The meeting on Friday was arranged as old irritants in the bilateral relationships -- rows over border management and terrorism concerns -- resurfaced ahead of the upcoming meeting of the Quadrilateral Coordination Group, a four-nation initiative for peace and reconciliation in Afghanistan, Dawn online reported.
