Both sides agreed on continuation of such bilateral interactions to enhance bilateral border coordination and reduce space for detractors, the press release added. The Durand Line is the 1893 British-mandated border between the two countries, which is recognized by Pakistan, but not by Afghanistan. Afghanistan believes that both countries must approve activity by either side along the Durand Line. The Afghan officials blamed Pakistan for building up a check post in Mohmand Agency. The Afghan President Hamid Karzai, on Sunday told his top officials to take immediate action to remove the gate and other Pakistani military installations near the Durand Line. Afghan defense ministry spokesman said on Monday that \"establishing a gate by Pakistan on the Durand Line and inside Afghanistan is against all international norms.\"
