1948 in Afghanistan
Template:Year in Afghanistan The following lists events that happened during 1948 in Afghanistan.
Relations between Afghanistan and Pakistan are peaceful and formally correct. The unsettled relations between Pakistan and India, however, interfere with the Afghan foreign trade which for decades had gone mostly by the Khyber Pass. Another reason for the unfavourable balance of trade is the falling price of Karakul lambskins, the most valuable of the country's exports. Three new motor roads were under construction in 1948: Kabul to Mazar, Kabul to Khyber Pass, and the Badakhshan road from Kabul toward Sinkiang province, China.
