World Bank to invest $460m in road from Peshawar to Afghan border

[Dalit]

So? roads are not going to reduce Afghan decision to reduce trade from Pakistan.

Your daddy America seems to disagree with you.

460 million for a road in middle of no where ? Taking half a billion dollar loan to help Afghanistan is not our national interest the existing road is enough to move goods there

Why should Pakistan have to take a Loan on our name?

It think this amount is close to the aid that they stoped.

The board of directors of the World Bank is likely to approve the $460-million loan next month for Peshawar-Torkham Expressway Corridor project, according to World Bank documents. The total cost of the project is nearly $483 million and the remaining amount will be arranged by Pakistan from its own resources.
