Russia gives India its first invite for Troika Plus meet on Afghanistan

By Dipanjan Roy Chaudhury, ET BureauLast Updated: Jul 20, 2021, 11:57 PM IST

Russia has invited India for the first time to the Russia-US-China Troika Plus meet on Afghanistan that will discuss, among other issues, the role of Taliban and the future of the landlocked country.

Besides India, Iran has also been invited for the meeting, ET has reliably gathered. Pakistan and representatives from Kabul are also expected to be part of the meet.


The meeting is expected to be held in the near future as Moscow is trying to form a regional consensus on the future of Afghanistan, persons familiar with the Troika meet explained to ET. The decision to invite India for this meet was indicated at the South Central Asia connectivity meet at Tashkent last week.

This proposed meeting follows Foreign Minister S Jaishankar’s recent visits to Moscow, Tehran and Central Asia where the Afghan issue dominated the agenda of his meetings. At the SCO meet in Dushanbe last week, Jaishankar advised the Taliban to abide by the Moscow format and Doha and Istanbul processes. Earlier, in Moscow, Jaishankar noted that the basis for the India-Russia-Iran partnership on the lines of that followed in the mid-1990s still remain valid as he asserted that the legitimacy of who ruled Afghanistan cannot be ignored.

India was not present at the last Troika Plus meet in Moscow in March even as Russia kept India posted on the meet. Pakistan, however, participated in the meet held before the US decision to withdraw from the Afghan theater. Russia has been holding the Moscow format talks on Afghanistan. India has been invited for this format of talks that involved Russia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, China, and Iran.

Russia remains a key player to address the impasse in Afghanistan amid the Taliban surge and has deep interests in the stability of the landlocked country as any spread of terror and extremism impacts Central Asian states with the possibility of spill over into the Russian Caucus region.

The Russian initiative is doomed to fail. India is a spoiler.

I thinks it's because both of our governments are intent on pushing each other out. Both cannot be ignored.

You just gave an allegation of opposition and an opinion piece of a website, I want factual evidence, or satelite imagery. Else your claim is false.

 

[RIP Pak LAW]

India has lost its proxy war in Afghanistan. Its all over for Modi bkahts. Game all over. Understand?

No matter what you say or do. Your Afghan investment has already sunk. An irrelevant invite through Russia won't save the day for you.

He is the head of major party in India who has ruled India for majority of its miserable existence. Besides, many ex military men of India have corroborated India losing its territory. Top that, you lot were booasting that China have retreated in Pangong Tso lake area, but you were told at the time that bufferzones were enforced inside own claimed territory, you went in your usual national psyche of denial. Now international media is reporting and exposing your embarrassment. when your stronk hindu man is saying that "no one entered India", we can all see how pathetic the followers are.
