India and Pakistan agreed through diplomatic channels to extend the validity of the agreement on Kartarpur Sahib corridor for another five years, government said Tuesday.
The agreement was signed on October 24, 2019, to facilitate visit of pilgrims from India to Gurdwara Darbar Sahib Kartarpur in Narowal, Pakistan, through the Kartarpur Sahib corridor, and was valid for a period of five years. The extension comes barely a week after EAM S Jaishankar visited Islamabad for the SCO heads of government meeting.
"Extension of validity of the agreement will ensure uninterrupted operation of the corridor for use by pilgrims from India to visit the holy gurdwara in Pakistan," Indian govt said in a statement.
Pakistan said separately in a statement that the agreement's renewal underscored its "enduring commitment to fostering interfaith harmony and peaceful coexistence".
