Mr. Jaishankar earlier said India is working with international partners, principally the US, in bringing stranded Indian nationals back home from Afghanistan
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar discussed the chaotic situation in Afghanistan for a second time this week and agreed to continue their close coordination over the matter. Taliban insurgents took control of Afghanistan on August 15, 2021. Their sudden victory, which comes as the U.S. withdraws from the country following a 20-year brutal war, has sparked chaos at Kabul's airport, from where America and allied nations are trying to safely evacuate thousands of their citizens and allies. India on Tuesday rushed back home its Ambassador Rudrendra Tandon and staff from the embassy in Kabul in a military transport aircraft.More Related News
