Pakistan Interior Minister Rehman Malik said today that Iran and Paklistan will establish four security stations on the borders between the two countries.

Malik also said that Iran's Interior Minister Mostafa Mohammad Najjar will soon be visiting Pakistan to sign the joint agreement.

Pakistani official also said that a free trade zone between the countries will be established near the security posts at the border.

Speaking on other issues, the minister noted that starting from March 8th, no one would be able to cross Afghan-Pakistani border without visa.

"Despite numerous requests from Pakistan, Afghanistan did not set control over the illegal border crossing from its side," Malik said. "Thus the Pakistani government has decided to take it under precise control to stop the drug smuggling into the country."
