Explanation:
The Durand Line is a 2,640-kilometer (1,640-mile) international border established in 1893 by Sir Mortimer Durand, a British diplomat, and Amir Abdur Rahman Khan, the then-Afghan ruler. It demarcates the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The line is named after Sir Mortimer Durand.
Key Points:
The Durand Line separates the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa and Balochistan provinces of Pakistan from the Afghan provinces of Nangarhar, Paktia, and Kandahar, among others.
It has been a source of dispute between Pakistan and Afghanistan, as Afghanistan does not officially recognize the Durand Line as the international border.
