The Ministry of Border and Tribal Affairs said that the renovation work of border signs with Iran have been fifteen percent completed.

The ministry’s spokesman Hamdullah Fitrat told TOLOnews that the work on a plan to renew the border signs with Afghanistan's neighboring countries, including Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and China, is still ongoing.

“The process of renewal of border marks with Iran has so far progressed by 15 percent. We also have some areas with Tajikistan as well, which need to be renewed. We are working in general to mark the border areas,” Fitrat said.

The spokesman added that talks are now underway with Tajikistan to renew the border signs between Afghanistan and Tajikistan.

Political analysts consider the renewal of border signs between Afghanistan, China, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Iran and Tajikistan to be effective in solving some challenges.

“A delegation composed of the Ministry of Border and Tribal Affairs, the intelligence and also the political deputy of the PM should follow up the issue and mark the areas, so there will be no problem in the future,” said Moeen Gul Samkanai, a political analyst.

“Putting marks in the crossings which have been recognized by Afghanistan, is a good step,” said Tariq Farhadi, another political analyst.

According to the information provided by the Ministry of Border and Tribal Affairs, Afghanistan and Iran have nearly two hundred border signs on the border, and work is underway to renew these signs.
