The Chaman border crossing is one of the major international border crossings between Pakistan and Afghanistan. Located on the Durand Line, it leads north from the town of Chaman, Balochistan province into Spin Boldak, Kandahar province. More generally, it links the two provincial capitals: Quetta and Kandahar. A brick, double-arched Friendship Gate, rising three stories tall, was erected on the Pakistani half of the crossing in 2003, and bears the words PROUND PAKISTANI and PAKISTAN FIRST.[1][2][3] Its official hours run from morning to sunset, though smuggling continues at night.[3]
The Chaman border crossing has been used by international forces (ISAF) in Afghanistan as part of a major supply route stretching from the Port of Karachi to Kandahar,[4] with roughly 60 to 100 trucks traversing Chaman daily.[1] On January 18, 2010, ISAF commander General Stanley A. McChrystal visited the site after discussing the crossing's efficiency with Pakistani authorities.[5][6]international high way both country's are trading and in these way daily a hundreds kantiners and oil tankers will be carrying logistic sport for nato forces to Afghanistan
