India welcomes Afghanistan’s Political Agreement

May 17: India welcomes the Political Agreement concluded by the political leadership in Kabul today. President Ashraf Ghani and his rival Abdullah Abdullah signed a power-sharing deal to end the political deadlock.

India has consistently supported inclusive governance, national unity, strong institutions, Constitutional order, rights of all sections of society and the territorial integrity of Afghanistan.

The continuing and enhanced violence and terror in Afghanistan is a matter of deep concern. India calls for an immediate ceasefire and assistance to the people of Afghanistan to deal with the humanitarian situation arising from COVID-19.

India hopes the Political Agreement and creation of the High Council of National Reconciliation will result in renewed efforts for establishing enduring peace and stability and putting an end to externally sponsored terrorism and violence.
