Peace in Afghanistan central to regional security: India


(MENAFN- Pajhwok Afghan News) KABUL (Pajhwok): Peace and development in Afghanistan would contribute to regional security and prosperity, the Indian foreign minister hoped on Tuesday.

€œThis can only be achieved through political dialogue and reconciliation within the framework of the Afghan constitution,€ Sushma Swaraj said.

In her address to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Council of Foreign Ministers in Beijing, she sought support for efforts of the Afghan government at an inclusive peace and reconciliation.

€œIndia actively supports the activation of the SCO-Afghanistan Contact Group, the Moscow Consultation Format and other mechanisms of dialogue and cooperation for restoration of peace and development in Afghanistan.€

Terrorism was an enemy of the basic human rights and the fight against it should also identify states that encouraged, supported and financed terrorist groups, she added.

She said India had operationalised the air freight corridor between Kabul, Kandahar, New Delhi and Mumbai besides developing the Chabahar Port in Iran.
