Afghanistan armed forces hav access to better quality US weapons. Our weapons is not going to give anyIts trade not aide. We can import dried fruits and minerals from Afghanistan. Afghanistan is sitting on lot of mineral deposit and India must help them develop it. None of the weapons I have mentioned are so devastating that Iran or pakistan should shit themselves.
If the government is buying the wheat from farmers and then giving it, it's still profit for the farmer right?yahan kisaan bhook se mar rahy hai paise mil nahi rahy... inhe daan dene ki parhi hai.. Charity, It's a good thing but make sure they sell to other countries also so that some profit can be generated for farmers.

“We’ve also, of course as neighbours of Afghanistan, we have been very concerned at the developments there. And the participation of the Secretary of your Security Council in the Regional Security Dialogue, which we hosted in November, is something which is deeply appreciated,” Jaishankar said in his opening remarks at his meeting with the Foreign Minister of Tajikistan.
“I would also like to publicly thank you for the tremendous support that you gave us during the evacuation of Indians from Afghanistan in August and September, both Indians as well as some members of the Afghan minority community,” he added. Noting the good bilateral relations between the two sides, Jaishankar highlighted the close cooperating between the two countries in the United Nations (UN) and in the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). The minister also noted the mutual support between the two countries during the COVID-19 pandemic. “We were happy to provide ‘Made in India’ vaccines and certainly now we look forward to easier travel between India and Tajikistan through recognition of our vaccine certificates.”

We must find ways to help people of Afghanistan: EAM Jaishankar at India-Central Asia dialogue
External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar on Sunday pitched for finding ways to help the people in Afghanistan while reaffirming the need for an inclusive government in the country. Speaking at the third India-Central Asia Dialogue, Jaishankar said, "We share deep-rooted historical and civilisational ties with Afghanistan. Our concerns and objectives in that country are similar - a truly inclusive and representative government, the fight against drug trafficking, ensuring unhindered humanitarian assistance and preserving the rights of women, children and minorities."
"We must find ways of helping the people of Afghanistan," the minister added. The dialogue, hosted by India in Delhi, was also attended by the foreign ministers of Tajikistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyz Republic, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan. "The meeting today comes amidst the rapidly changing global and economic situation. The Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in an enormous setback to global health and economy. It has changed the way we imagine workplaces, societies, supply chains and governance. It also highlighted the inadequacies of multilateral structures to meet new and emerging threats," Jaishankar said. "We need diversified supply chains and more regional solutions," he said. Jaishankar floated a 'four C' approach focusing on commerce, capacity enhancement, connectivity and contacts to further expand the cooperation between the two sides.
At the meeting, Kazakhstan Foreign Minister Mukhtar Tileuberdi said, "During the past three decades, Kazakhstan and India have developed successful and dynamic relations across all spectrums of cooperation. Strategic partnership with India is dynamically growing and increasingly covers new areas of cooperation."
"We are eager to maintain trusted political dialogue and look forward to organising a high-level visit of President Tokayev to India next year that could coincide with the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries," he added.
Tileuberdi welcomes India's growing interest in Central Asia. "Our region is now in a new development stage towards unprecedented convergence in politics, economics, trade and security," he said.
Foreign Minister of Turkmenistan Rashid Meredov said, "Dialogue in this multilateral format is of special importance. It is able to have a serious constructive impact on the challenges arising on the regional and global agenda, including political, security, economic, environmental issues and human dimension."
"This dialogue is natural and impartial," he added.
