Neighbouring states reopen border crossing closed for a decade

Two neighbouring states have reopened a mountain border crossing that was closed ten years ago, allowing families on both sides to visit each other again.

Hundreds of people waited at the crossing on the first morning. Officials said trade in farm goods would resume next month.

Business groups in the region said the decision would make planning easier and could attract new investment.

Our correspondent reports that the mood in the capital was calm, with daily life continuing much as usual.
