Afghanistan’s chief peace envoy Abdullah Abdullah said Saturday that India’s civil and military leadership are supportive of an inclusive, peaceful settlement of the Afghan peace process. He said Kabul’s interactions with New Delhi are expected to further deepen in the coming weeks and months.
In an interview with The Associated Press in the Indian capital, Abdullah Abdullah said that while the issue of Afghanistan involves the international community at large, he hopes that India will play an important role in the peace process by “encouraging the voices of tolerance and coexistence.”
“India also espouses for a peaceful Afghanistan which is in peace within the country and a democratic Afghanistan which does not harbor terrorist groups,” Abdullah said. “This is in line with the aspirations of the people of Afghanistan and the sacrifices our people have made for it.” — AP
