Afghanistan Visit



A three-member team comprising Dr. Radha Kumar, Mr. Rana Banerjee and Ambassador Rakesh Sood from Delhi Policy Group visited Afghanistan between April 15th to 19th to interact with representatives from the government, academia and media.

The major highlight of the visit was the launch of Delhi Policy Group's latest report, Afghanistan 2016 Turbulent Transitions, which was released in Kabul at a function organised by the Afghan Institute for Security Studies, with a panel discussion by H.E. Andisha, Deputy Foreign Minister of Afghanistan, H.E. Manpreet Vohra, Ambassador of India to Afghanistan and General Karimi, former chief of the Afghan National Army. Reviewing the political, security and economic transitions in Afghanistan, the report notes the series of crises that have beset Afghanistan since the international drawdown and asks what regional governments and especially regional powers such as India, Russia and China can do to help stabilize the country and prevent it from becoming a sanctuary for terrorist groups again.
