India, Afghanistan hold talks on bilateral, regional issues

India and Afghanistan today held discussions on key bilateral and regional issues in the backdrop of continued terror-related violence in the war-torn country.

"Honoured to be hosted by Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar at his home for a stimulating conversation covering bilateral and regional issues," Deputy Foreign Minister of Afghanistan Hekmat Khalil Karzai tweeted.

Today's meeting comes just a week after the deadly terror strike on a hospital in Kabul in which more than 30 people were killed. India had termed it as most "deplorable" expression of the diabolical designs of terrorists and those who continue to provide safe havens and sanctuaries to them.

After the terror strike last week, the External Affairs Ministry had assured Afghanistan that India will continue to support it in fighting all forms of terrorism and bringing perpetrators of terrorist violence to justice, wherever they may be.
