International Border

An international border is a line that separates two countries and demarcates the boundary between them. International borders are typically established through treaties and agreements between countries, and they may be marked by physical features such as fences, walls, or natural landmarks.

International borders play a significant role in the regulation of international trade, immigration, and other forms of cross-border activity. They are often the site of border crossings, where people and goods can be inspected and processed as they move between countries.

Border security is an important concern for many countries, and international borders may be patrolled and monitored by law enforcement or military personnel to prevent the unauthorized movement of people and goods. In some cases, international borders may be closed or restricted in order to prevent the spread of disease or to protect national security.
