Despite the Taliban’s objections to border fencing, Pakistan has claimed that up to 94 percent of the work on the Durand Line fencing has been completed.

Durand Line is the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan.

Durand Line is the boundary between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The previous Afghan government and the Taliban have also long opposed the Durand Line.
