The Durand Line is a 2,640-kilometre international border between Afghanistan and Pakistan in South Asia. It was established in 1893 as the international border between the Emirate of Afghanistan and the British Indian Empire. The line was created by British diplomat Mortimer Durand and Emir Abdur Rahman Khan to fix the limit of their respective spheres of influence and improve diplomatic relations and trade. It cuts through provinces such as Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Balochistan, and Gilgit-Baltistan of Pakistan, and the northeastern and southern provinces of Afghanistan.learn more on wikipedia
