Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar on Wednesday announced that his country will implement six new development projects in Afghanistan.
The projects will focus on infrastructure, education, health and agriculture, and aim to help improve the living conditions of the Afghan people and strengthen cooperation between the two countries, he said.
Mr. G. Shankar also said that India is providing 20 ambulances, vaccines and medical equipment to Afghan hospitals and will soon hand them over to the country's health authorities.
He also spoke of the readiness of Indian companies to invest in Afghanistan's mines and stressed that New Delhi is interested in cooperating with Kabul in the field of natural resource extraction and infrastructure projects.
The Indian foreign minister also assured that his country would continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the earthquake victims and returnees of Afghanistan.
On the other hand, Maulvi Amir Khan Muttaqi welcomed the continuation of India's cooperation with the people of Afghanistan and called for the expansion of economic, cultural and transit relations between the two countries.
Observers say India's move comes as regional competition for influence in Afghanistan has intensified among countries such as China, Pakistan and Iran.
Investigations show that New Delhi is trying to regain its former position after the fall of the previous government by increasing its economic and humanitarian role in Afghanistan.
According to analysts, the entry of Indian companies into Afghanistan's mining sector can help the country's economic development, but at the same time requires security guarantees and a transparent legal framework from the caretaker government.
