Commutes between the two countries are done via Mirjaveh and Jaleq borders, presently.
The Foreign Ministers of Iran and Pakistan met on the sidelines of the International Heart of Asia Conference in Dushanbe, Tajikistan on March 30 to discuss the latest developments in bilateral relations and stressed the need to increase bilateral trade, economic cooperation, and the development of border markets.

Setting up border markets with Iran is on Pakistan's agenda.
