Moscow shows it’s back in the ‘Great Game’ by hosting Taliban-Afghan peace talks

[Lonewarrior]

MOSCOW — Russia pledged Friday to use its diplomatic muscle to help spur Afghanistan peace efforts after hosting Afghan envoys and their Taliban foes — a meeting that Moscow also used to showcase its drive to reassert influence in the region.

Sitting between Afghan representatives and their Taliban rivals, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov played the roles of mediator and experienced hand in Afghanistan’s conflicts.

Russian media meanwhile said the Russian Foreign Ministry had sent invitations to Afghanistan, India, Iran, China, Pakistan, the US and other countries.

India doesn't want peace in Afghanistan, they dont care about Afghan lives and are only there for their own interests. There is no evidence India has been working hard to achieve stablity and peace in Afghanistan. On the contrary they have used Afghanistan to plot terrorist attacks against Pakistan. If there is peace, they cant do this.

India does development work in Afghanistan, building schools, colleges, roads, dams, even the Afghan Parliament.

At the same time supporting forces against Pakistan, which Pakistan won't tolerate.

Let the afghans decide that. Not Pakistanis.

Clearly you know something no one else does. Won't it be a better idea to take your info to relevant authorities rather than wasting on a forum?

Let Kashmiri decide for Kashmir, not occupying Indian army.

Then Pakistan should go to UN with that evidence and get those involved sanctioned as terrorist.

So Pakistan/Iran are not alone in having "good Talibans" nowadays.

Surprised that India accepted it considering how Talibans, as Muslims, consider Hindus.

 

[cricketjoshila]

India has no official presence there. Indian MEA confirmed that.
