At the same time, earlier India’s External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar had said that the US is preparing for the withdrawal of its troops in Afghanistan. There is no need to tolerate terrorism at all for peace there and those who support terrorists should be held accountable. “A lasting peace in Afghanistan requires a real ‘dual peace’ – that is, peace within Afghanistan and peace around Afghanistan. This requires the interests of all within and around that country,” he said during a Security Council meeting on Tuesday. There needs to be reconciliation.” “While ensuring that Afghanistan is not used by terrorists to threaten or attack other countries, those providing material and financial assistance to terrorist entities must be held accountable,” he said.
