Why is a headache to India when a sovereign country like Afgan wishes to join CPEC

[babbly]

The issue is not about Afghanistan, the issue is that the CPEC is in PoK and should have been the central theme of the news.

I didn't know India had any interest in Afghanistan... Ive been watching Wion for months and every time they talk about Afghanistan they are hateful to the government.

I understand Pakistan because I'm not an Idiot, I understand China because they share a border. What security risk is this to India and Indian interests?

[dbchhantyal]

If Afghanistan develops harmonious relation with its neighbour (Pakistan) joining CPEC for its national interest and can maitain friendly relation with India too; why so much suspicion: cold war mentality/biasness!

[usmanibrahim]

Salute to China humility, wherever US destroy, China go and fix it and back it up with economy support and pave an everlasting problems solution.

[mrsarcasm]

Afghanisthan was a democracy back then
she said that with a smile, thats joke
it was a US colony not democracy, democracy means what people want, and majority in afghanistan always wanted taliban rule

[ideaone]

Yess... Give Afghanistan super project for their development...
That very good initiative...👍🏽

What's Afghanistan's take on Uighurs persecution by Chinese government?

[bg]

China plays with strong hand “economic corridor”. India plays weak hand “security”, Indian-only security. Afghanis are not stupid.

[afsorahmed]

China have money and technology. What you have? Only RSs

[miklosgergely]

According to my knowledge, Afghanistan is one of the world's richest countries in terms of natural wealth: minerals, rare earth minerals, etc, etc. There's light in the end of the tunnel for Afghanistan to achieve long-awaited and deserved development and prosperity.

[ultraali]

This is between China Pakistan and Afghanistan

[OFM-ur]

And Afghanistan will never pay their loans 😂😂😂😂

[kingshuk]

India is helping afgans too much... now it's time to see in our country

[vinukrishnannair]

India open embassy, send support to Afghanistan worth millions, send humanitarian aid's etc. and after receiving it all Afghanistan joins hands with China and Pakistan.... Funny India will never learn. India should learn to support with strings attached.... these unconditional support is waste of tax payers money.

[abduljamiubawah]

So can you just see the irony, India, for her own interests prefers Afghanistan to remain in deplorable condition. How selfish of you. If India has humility truely let them at least seek to improve the welfare of Afghanistan either by joining the CPEC or find some other way, her presence will allow her to protect her own interests as well as proffering solutions to Afgan issues.

[Khalistan_Zindabaddd]

Good to see Afghanistan joining the International trade body.

[winhtut]

US spent more than 2 trillions in Afghan and then kicked out.
India a billion plus wasted down the drain. Not only Taliban but non Western World respect and seek Chinese assistance as far as Africa, Latin America.
CPAC will expand all the way to Ukraine.

[rikkygoh]

Palki’s personal biases against China & Russia are so showing….

[sanjaysanj]

They only discussed humanitarian help for PaXistan, I bet on billion dollars .. ☝️🤣✌
