Amid the ongoing intra-Afghan peace talks in Doha, will India assist Afghanistan militarily? According to a report in ThePrint, New Delhi has assured Kabul of military assistance as the US is busy withdrawing troops from the war-ravaged country.
The Pentagon had said in November 2020 that it would reduce the number of US forces in Afghanistan from 4,500 to 2,500 by mid-January. The US military has not halted the troop withdrawal process despite a new law banning the same without prior knowledge of the US Congress. A defense official told Reuters the US troop level already is close to 3,000.
Last week, India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and Afghanistan Foreign Minister Mohammed Haneef Atmar had talked over a phone call to discuss the Afghan peace process among other issues such as Covid-19.
