Terrorist Activities In Afghanistan A Threat To India: Envoy – TOLOnews

Indian Ambassador Manpreet Vohra says some countries in the region are sabotaging attempts at peace.

Hinting indirectly at Pakistan, the Indian ambassador in Kabul, Manpreet Vohra, said some countries in the region have damaged all peace efforts and are following destructive policies. Sadly, in our immediate neighborhood, there are some who deliberately sabotage all attempts for peace and greater regional cooperation and connectivity, he said. India hopes that better sense will prevail on them one day and their self-destructive policies will change. Marking the 70th Independence Day of India at the Indian Embassy in Kabul, the ambassador said New Delhi will stand beside Afghans in the fight against terrorism. We champion Afghanistans cause and stand with it shoulder to shoulder as it faces serious challenges and strives to build a peaceful, secure and prosperous nation, he stated. At the same event, Second Vice President Mohammad Sarwar Danish said a number of countries in the region were trying to change their security centric policies to an economic centric policy and to regional cooperation. Though Afghanistan is living in an imposed war and is on the frontline of the fight against insurgency and terrorism, and our civilians and forces are being sacrificed in barbaric terrorist attacks every day ... the policy of the Afghan government is based on an economic-centric policy not security-centric, he said.

Regional countries particularly our neighbors should pay attention to this important matter that our politics and policy should not be ordered as security-centric. India has invested $2.5 billion USD in infrastructure in Afghanistan and has pledged an additional one billion dollars in aid.
