India’s envoy to the U.N. has said that the overall objective of the global community in Afghanistan aligns with New Delhi’s priorities in the war-torn nation, including the need to combat terrorism.
India’s Permanent Representative to the U.N., Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj, told the U.N. Security Council meeting on Afghanistan on March 6 that New Delhi pays close attention to the situation in the country, “which has a direct impact on us”.
“Our objective is to establish long-term peace, security and stability” in Afghanistan, Ms. Kamboj said, as she told the top organ of the United Nations that India participated actively in the recent meeting of special envoys on Afghanistan held in Qatar.
