The Pakistan Land Port Authority (PLPA) is a government-backed Authority that seeks to enhance trade operations at border regions, benefiting the business community, including exporters and importers. With assistance from the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the initiative aims to modernize Pakistan's external border, fostering legitimate trade and improving bilateral and transit trade with Afghanistan and Central Asian Republics (CARs). The ultimate goal is to deter illegal trade and facilitate smoother cross-border transactions.[1][2]
