Afghan Foreign Minister Muttaqi, during his visit to New Delhi, warned Pakistan against underestimating Afghanistan’s resolve and condemned recent violence in Kabul, which some speculate was orchestrated by Islamabad. He emphasized Afghanistan’s commitment to stability and urged for improved bilateral relations with India, particularly through trade and infrastructure partnerships like the Chabahar Port. Highlighting Afghanistan’s historical ties with India, he announced plans for educational exchanges and expressed optimism about the return of Afghan diplomats to India. The backdrop of rising tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan, especially regarding militant groups, underscores the ongoing geopolitical complexities of South Asia, with Afghanistan asserting its sovereignty amidst external pressures.
