India invites Pakistan for investors’ meet on Afghanistan
ISLAMABAD: Pakistan and China are among the countries invited for the regional investors’ meet on Afghanistan, to be held in New Delhi on June 28, to discuss ways to boost international-private-sector investment in the war-torn country.
Indian External Affairs Ministry spokesman Syed Akbaruddin said in New Delhi that though it was largely a private-sector meet, India would also invite government entities for the conference aimed at exploring and promoting investments in Afghanistan on a long-term basis, IRNA reported. This is the first international meet to be held by India involving the private sector. If Pakistan accepts, it would be the first time it would participate in an India-led initiative on Afghanistan. The investors’ meet is primarily aimed at spurring private sector investment by roping in countries of the region, but India has also invited ministers and officials for the conference. agencies
