AFGHAN-PM 2 LAST

Terrorists struck on February 26 at two hotels in
Kabul, which were home to Indians engaged in developmental
projects, killing nine of them and injuring 10 others.
Singh said the Afghan President assured him that
Kabul would take all possible measures for the safety of
Indians in that country.
"We were of the view that the attacks of February 26
were the handiwork of those who do not wish to see the
emergence of a strong, independent and pluralistic
Afghanistan," the Prime Minister said.
He said that he conveyed to Karzai that the
perpetrators of such attacks would not succeed in undermining
India's commitment to assist the people of Afghanistan.
The Prime Minister said he was looking forward to
working with Karzai for further enhancing the close
cooperation, stressing it was in the interest of the people of
the two countries and peace and stability in the region and
beyond.
He said India was ready to augment its assistance for
capacity building and for skill and human resources
development to help strengthen public institutions there.
Karzai said he had thanked the Indian leadership for
the assistance in the construction of roads and the expansion
of power lines from North to Central Afghanistan.
He also thanked the Prime Minister for more than 1200
scholarships to Afghan students for studying in India. PTI SPC
