WASHINGTON: India had informed the United States that they would not leave Afghanistan because they had strategic interests there, revealved a US diplomatic cable released by WikiLeaks.
According to the cable sent to Washington, YK Sinha -- India's A/S equivalent for Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Iran -- in a February 22, 2010 meeting, welcomed increased GOI-USG coordination "at all levels" on respective assistance activities in Afghanistan. He warned the USG not to be drawn into what he characterized as a Pakistani "game" of enlisting American support to "drive India out of Afghanistan" by presenting "fabricated" evidence of alleged Indian misdeeds in Afghanistan or the border areas.
Sinha contended that "it is quite clear to India" that Pakistan views Afghanistan "as a zero sum game and they want India out of Afghanistan." He stated that "we will not leave Afghanistan because we have strategic interests there."
