Karzai, Singh urge other countries to prevent terrorism
Karzais visit to India was to express Afghanistans solidarity with the Indian government and people in wake of the Mumbai terrorist attacks, a joint statement by the two leaders said. India has often accused Pakistan of abetting terrorists who launch attacks in Indian territory, especially in disputed Kashmir. Afghan officials have accused Pakistan of harbouring Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters. The leaders called for full compliance with ... international obligations of states to prevent terrorism in any manner originating from territories under their control since terrorism emanates from sanctuaries and training camps and the sustenance and support received by the terrorist groups, the joint statement said. The two leaders discussed a range of bilateral issues including development and reconstruction projects in Afghanistan with aid from India. Singh said India would give 250,000 metric tons of wheat to Afghanistan during its current food crisis. The Indian prime minister also accepted an invitation to visit Afghanistan.
