Modi for ‘humanitarian help’ to Afghanistan

PM stresses on ‘inclusive government’

Afghanistan requires “unhindered humanitarian assistance” and “inclusive government,” said Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the extraordinary meeting of the G20 leaders on Afghanistan held on Tuesday. Mr. Modi reiterated India’s call for shaping international response on the Afghan crisis along the conditions laid down in the UN Security Council Resolution 2593, and urged for preserving the gains of the last two decades in Afghanistan.

“Participated in the G20 Summit on Afghanistan. Stressed on preventing Afghan territory from becoming the source of radicalisation and terrorism. Also called for urgent and unhindered humanitarian assistance to Afghan citizens and an inclusive administration. A unified international response based on UNSC Resolution 2593 is necessary to improve the situation in Afghanistan,” said Mr. Modi in a set of social media messages after he attended the G20 meeting, called to discuss the worsening humanitarian situation in Afghanistan.
