Afghanistan- India have mutual enemies: Vohra

Simultaneously with concerns of regional countries, particularly Pakistan over Kabul-Delhi ties, the Indian ambassador to Afghanistan,  Manpreet Vohra in an exclusive interview with Ariananews said that Afghanistan and India have joint enemies and they do not want a flourishing relation between the two countries.

The Indian diplomat declared that Afghanistan is an independent country and has the right to have economic and political ties with any countries of the world.

“As Afghans know, we have mutual enemies. This is a political game and the opposition parties seek to disrupt relations,” Indian ambassador to Afghanistan,  Manpreet Vohra said.

Vohra noted that there is no difference between the terrorists.

“Terrorists are all like the same. We believe that anyone who commit suicide and kill civilians and innocent people are terrorists,” Manpreet Vohra added.

He also announced support for Afghanistan Peace Talks process.

“We support any efforts for providing peace and we hope these efforts have a result one day. Afghanistan has suffered from violence and terrorism for a long-time and any opportunity for peace is laudable,” Vohra said.

India remains an integral part of Afghanistan’s steady progress in institutionalizing peace, pluralism, and prosperity. Ties between Afghanistan and India go beyond the traditionally strong relations at the government level.

Afghanistan and India have a full agenda of shared objectives to execute. The framework, within which bilateral aid programs and projects should be implemented, is the Strategic Partnership Agreement (SPA), which Afghanistan signed with India in 2011.

Over the long run, the multi-dimensional Indo-Afghan relationship will only grow, in line with the two nations’ historic ties and converging interests, which they share with China and Russia.
