Delhi does not want to place “conditionalities” while sending humanitarian assistance: MEA
India is in talks with Pakistan to firm up the “modalities” for sending humanitarian assistance to the people of Afghanistan, an official said here on Friday.
At the weekly press briefing here, official spokesperson of the Ministry of External Affairs Arindam Bagchi said India took the initiative to send food and medicines in the first week of October and that Delhi does not want to place “conditionalities” while sending humanitarian assistance.
“India has always stood by the people of Afghanistan, be it [regarding] humanitarian support or development assistance. We received on Wednesday a response from the Government of Pakistan to our proposal made on October 7, 2021, for providing humanitarian assistance of 50,000 metric tonnes of wheat and lifesaving medicines that we want to send to the people of Afghanistan. We are examining the response of the Government of Pakistan. We are also working on the modalities with the Pakistan side,” said Mr. Bagchi.
