Krishna in Kabul; to seek clarity on Afghan transition process

KABUL: Concerned over some aspects of the transition process in Afghanistan, external affairs minister S M Krishna flew in here on Saturday on a two-day visit during which he will seek from Afghan leadership clarity on a host of issues including President Hamid Karzai's move to reintegrate the Taliban over which India has hesitation.

Krishna will hold talks with Afghan leadership during which he will also discuss security of Indian nationals and reiterate India's commitment for the reconstruction of the war-torn country.

"I look forward to detailed consultation... on further broadening and deepening our bilateral relationships and on regional and international issues of mutual interest," said Krishna, who arrived here on his third visit to Afghanistan.
