India commits 1 billion $ for development in Afghanistan

India offered fresh $1 billion in aid to Afghanistan for capacity building in areas such as education, health, agriculture, energy and infrastructure
 
India and Afghanistan, long wary of aggravating Pakistan, have been growing closer, marking a shift in their regional strategies. Last year, New Delhi announced the supply of four Russian Mi-25 attack helicopters in its first transfer of weapons to the country since the fall of the Taliban government. In May, the two sides came together with Iran to sign a deal for the development of a port in Iran that would allow the countries to trade directly without having to go through Pakistan.

Afghanistan has asked India for more military assistance, including equipment and training. On Wednesday, the two sides agreed to “strengthen security and defense cooperation.”

In a joint statement, Messrs. Modi and Ghani made a number of veiled references to Pakistan, expressing “grave concern at continued use of terrorism and violence in the region for achieving political objectives” and calling on “the concerned to put an end to all sponsorship, support, safe havens and sanctuaries to terrorists.”

I dont understand Indian policy. You have a very poor, internationally isolated, about to be broken into four pieces country as your immediate neighbor and you go out giving aid to some third country who does not even have a common border with you....immediate neighbors have the first right to aid....shame on you India
