MITEC announced that cross‑border trade has been reinstated following the resettlement of internally displaced persons. The move aims to revive economic activity along the frontier.
The trade body MITEC confirmed that border commerce has been re‑opened after the recent resettlement of internally displaced persons (IDPs) in the affected area. Officials said that the clearance of IDP camps and the restoration of normalcy allowed authorities to lift the temporary suspension of cross‑border transactions.
According to MITEC, the resumption is expected to benefit traders and local communities on both sides of the frontier, reviving supply chains that were disrupted during the displacement period. The organization urged merchants to adhere to standard customs procedures as trade activities pick up.
The announcement comes as part of broader efforts to stabilize the region after the humanitarian displacement, signalling a return to routine economic interactions while monitoring security and health protocols.
