 The border between Pakistan and Afghanistan is called the Durand Line, named after the Foreign Secretary of (British) India Mortimer Durand in 1893. |
The Durand Line (, ) refers to the international border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The border, which is largely porous and poorly marked, is approximately long. It was formally established after the 1893 Durand Line Agreement between a representative of colonial British India and Afghan Amir Abdur Rahman Khan for fixing the limit of their respective spheres of influence. It is named after Henry Mortimer Durand, who was the Foreign Secretary of British India at the time. The single-page agreement which contains seven short articles was signed by H. M. Durand and Amir Abdur Rahman Khan, agreeing not to exercise interference beyond the frontier line between Afghanistan and the adjoining regions of what was then colonial British India (now Pakistan).
