AWCC opens its first customer services center in Panjshir
Afghan Wireless Communications Company (AWCC) has officially opened its first customer services center in Panjshir province.
The modern sales and services center boasts modern equipment and facilities and is now in Panjshir’s Rukha district.
The head of AWCC’s central zone said at the opening ceremony that AWCC customers can now visit the center to resolve phone and internet problems.
“We try our best to provide telecommunication services wherever people need it, we take care of those points and provide standard telecommunication services to the noble people of Panjshir,” said Suleiman Khorram, AWCC’s director for the central zone.
“We request the respected Afghan Wireless company to provide these services across Panjshir province,” said Mirza Jan Muslim, head of Afghanistan Telecom Regulatory Authority (ATRA) for Panjshir.
The head of Panjshir Telecommunication and Information Technology, Abdul Hamid Noori, also called for AWCC to expand its services across the province.
“We are ready for any cooperation with Afghan Wireless Company. We would like to thank the respected Afghan Wireless Company for starting 4G activities in Panjshir province for the first time, and today they took the first step in the sales center, which was very important,” said Noori.
A number of residents also welcomed the company’s initiative.
“Before, when the Afghan Wireless Company was not here, we used to go to Kabul, where the expenses were very high, but now it has arrived in our own province, we are very happy,” said a resident.
Recently, AWCC also opened new sales and services centers in Parwan and Kapisa provinces.
Pakistan says communities living along the Afghanistan-Pakistan Durand Line want peace and stability, despite ongoing security concerns in the region.
Speaking during a weekly media briefing, Pakistan Foreign Office spokesperson Tahir Andrabi said there are no major issues between the people of Afghanistan and Pakistan, adding that residents on both sides of the Durand Line want peaceful relations and greater regional stability.
However, Andrabi claimed that terrorism originating from Afghan territory continues to undermine peace efforts.
He said Islamabad believes militant activity crossing from Afghanistan remains a significant obstacle to improving regional security and bilateral ties.
The Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan has repeatedly rejected such allegations, maintaining that no militant group is allowed to use Afghan soil to threaten neighboring countries.
Andrabi also said Pakistan remains diplomatically engaged on regional matters involving Afghanistan, Iran, India, and Somalia, stressing that dialogue and diplomacy remain Islamabad’s preferred means of resolving disputes.

Mahmood Khan Achakzai, a member of Pakistan’s National Assembly and head of the Pakhtunkhwa Awami National Party, has said that if capable statesmen had been in power, people living on both sides of the Durand Line could have moved freely across the line.
Speaking during a podcast interview, Achakzai said that countries with histories of major conflict, including Russia, Germany and the United Kingdom, now maintain far more open borders despite past wars. He said that in many such regions, only a “paper line” remains, with limited border restrictions.
Drawing comparisons with the disputed Durand Line boundary between Afghanistan and Pakistan, Achakzai argued that a similar arrangement could have been possible in South Asia.
“What is the problem here? A Punjabi could dance in Kandahar and a Pashtun could come here. Even if we are not formally one country, we could have effectively functioned like one,” he said.
The Pakistani politician also referred to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the later U.S.-led intervention, saying Afghanistan has the right to seek war reparations from those countries to support reconstruction efforts.
Achakzai further criticised the treatment of Pashtuns in Pakistan, alleging that individuals in cities including Lahore and Karachi have faced detention and deportation.
