New Delhi,Sep 9,2021: Amid rising concerns over the presence of international terror groups in Afghanistan, External Affairs Minister S.Jaishankar on Wednesday said that the use of Afghan soil to promote terrorism in any manner by any country is unacceptable and the Taliban must live up to its declarations to that effect.
Addressing a conference on Afghanistan, Jaishankar also said that the world should not countenance interference by external players, especially those intensifying violence at this difficult time.
Jaishankar said that the world’s approach should be guided by the UN Security Council resolution on Afghanistan 2593, passed on August 30 under India’s month-long presidency of the Council.
Another issue he raised was on resumption of travel out of Kabul, which he said was a priority.
The virtual conference was co-convened by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas.
