India played a constructive role in Afghanistan: Pentagon

India’s assistance in training and infrastructure has helped maintain stability in Afghanistan, the Pentagon Press Secretary said.

India has played a constructive role in Afghanistan in the past by providing assistance in training and infrastructure improvements, the Pentagon has said on Monday. “That kind of work, that kind of effort to help Afghanistan maintain stability and good governance is always welcome,” Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby told reporters when asked about India-U.S. cooperation on Afghanistan, during his daily press briefing. India has been a major stakeholder in the peace and stability of Afghanistan, supporting a national peace and reconciliation process that is Afghan-led, Afghan-owned and Afghan-controlled. It has already invested nearly $3 billion in aid and reconstruction activities in the war-ravaged country.
