US Backs India’s Role in Afghanistan

A US official said on Thursday that the United States supports India’s continued involvement in Afghanistan.

So far India has contributed more than $3 billion since 2001 in Afghanistan.

“The United States welcomes India’s substantial investment in and assistance to Afghanistan,” said Nancy Izzo Jackson, a State Department official in charge of Afghanistan, quoted by AFP.

“And we will continue to support efforts to achieve an honorable and enduring outcome in Afghanistan that preserves our investment in Afghanistan's future,” she told a conference on India’s role in Afghanistan at the Hudson Institute.

India constructed the new parliament building in Afghanistan as well as the Salma Dam, a hydropower dam in the west of Afghanistan.
