Use of Afghan soil to promote terrorism in any manner by any country is unacceptable: India

External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has 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. He was addressing the Afghanistan conference co-convened by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas.

Dr Jaishankar said resumption of travel out of Kabul is a priority. He said the world should not countenance interference by external players, especially those intensifying violence at this difficult time. He added that the collective approach should be guided by UNSC resolution 2593.
