Afghanistan’s president, Hamid Karzai, arrives in New Delhi on a two-day visit on Tuesday, October 4. On his second visit to India this year, Karzai will be meeting with Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and will discuss regional issues of common interest to both nations. The visit may also help the ongoing reconciliation process in Afghanistan, which has been affected by the American and NATO withdrawal of military forces.
In view of Indo-Afghanistan bilateral ties, Karzai is looking at signing a strategic partnership agreement that was envisioned during Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s visit to Kabul in May this year. The strategic agreement may increase cooperation in counter-terrorist activities and intelligence sharing between the two nations.
