• Afghan Transit Trade

  • Pakistan and Afghanistan share more than a border: they share a language, a people, culture and history. It only makes sense then that the best way to get to land-locked Afghanistan is through Pakistan. Besides, the closest available seaports are in Pakistan: Port Qasim, Karachi Port and Gwadar. So whether you need to move your product off an incoming ocean freighter, through one of the several international airports across Pakistan, or from your own local warehouse, Friends Logistics (Pvt.) Ltd. can get your shipments through Pakistan, across the border and to your final destination in Afghanistan safely. Corporations and foreign governments already trust us to navigate the tricky terrain – so can you.
