Statement by the Spokesperson in Response to Media Queries about the Availability of the Wagha Border Crossing for Pakistani Citizens Returning from India

Pakistan Ministry of Foreign Affairs

Responding to media queries about the availability of the Wagha border crossing for Pakistani citizens returning from India, the Spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated:

The Indian decision to revoke visas of Pakistani citizens is creating serious humanitarian challenges. Many patients, with fragile health, had to return to Pakistan without completing their treatment. Furthermore, there are reports of families being split and children being separated from one of their parents.

The last date to cross over through the Wagah-Attari border was April 30, 2025. In that context, we are aware of the media reports indicating that some Pakistani nationals are stranded at Attari. We are open to receiving our citizens in case the Indian authorities allow them to cross the border from their side.

The Wagha border will remain open for Pakistani citizens in the future as well.
