Afghanistan territory should not be used for sheltering or training terrorists, or to finance acts of terrorism, a regional security summit hosted by India and attended by eight nations, including Russia and Iran, decided today.

A joint statement issued Wednesday afternoon - the Delhi Declaration on Afghanistan - said the eight participating nations, led by their respective national security advisors, discussed the evolving Afghan situation, especially the global ramifications following the Taliban's takeover in August. 

All countries paid special attention to the current political situation in Afghanistan, the joint statement said, adding that threats arising from terrorism, radicalisation and drug trafficking were also discussed.
