India must do as much as possible for the peace process in Afghanistan to be a success, former Afghan President Hamid Karzai said here on Thursday.
“India and Afghanistan share an amazing relationship, an almost romantic one,” Karzai said in response to a question during a session at Raisina Dialogue, India’s flagship annual geopolitical and geostrategic conference here.
“Most of the Afghan people view India in such good light... We want India to do as much as possible,” he said.
Karzai’s remarks come after US President Donald Trump said earlier this month that India was not doing enough for peace and stability in Afghanistan. In his first Cabinet meeting, Trump asked India, Russia, Pakistan and other neighbouring countries to take the responsibility for Afghanistan’s security as he defended his move to withdraw troops from that country.
Trump also referred to Modi as an example of how world leaders were talking about their contributions that were nowhere near the billions of dollars the US was spending.
