Afghan President Hamid Karzai has won a promise from top Indian leaders of more aid in rebuilding his country. President Karzai is on an official four-day visit to India.
After wrapping up talks with the Afghan president in the Indian capital on Monday, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh pledged $50 million in aid for Afghanistan. That comes on top of about $600 million that India is already spending on a range of development projects in the country.
Mr. Singh and Afghan President Hamid Karzai also signed three agreements committing New Delhi to assist Kabul in education and rural development projects.
New Delhi is among the top donors 1 to Afghanistan, and is actively 2 involved in its reconstruction 3. Indians are also helping 4 train Afghanistan's civil servants, diplomats 5 and police officers.
Mr. Karzai says the cooperation between India and Afghanistan will help his country.
"I am sure the cooperation between our two countries will go a long way in bringing more stability and peace to Afghanistan," he said. "It will also bring, definitely, business exchanges between the two countries."
Indian officials say the Afghan leader's visit strengthens the close political ties the two countries have nurtured 6 since the overthrow 7 of Afghanistan's Taleban regime. India sees Afghanistan as a gateway 8 to Central Asia, and also wants to counter the influence there of its regional rival, Pakistan.
In a joint 9 statement, the two countries condemned 10 global terrorism as a threat to democracy. Mr. Karzai said his government is determined 11 to fight the scourge 12.
"We in Afghanistan are among the worst victims of terrorism," he said. "We have been affected 13 by terrorism in a massive way. Afghanistan has every reason to work with India, and the rest of the international community, and our neighbors, to get rid of this menace for the sake of Afghanistan, for the sake of this region, and for the sake of people all over the world."
The Afghan president, who is accompanied by a large business delegation 14, is also due to visit the information technology hub of Hyderabad in the south of India.
