United States says India critical to Afghanistan solution
A day after Pakistan pointed to the “gap” with the United States in tackling terror, Richard Holbrooke, America’s special envoy said the Afghanistan situation can’t be settled without India’s full involvement.
Holbrooke, tasked by President Barack Obama to engineer a “regional solution” to the Afghanistan-Pakistan, or Af-Pak, region, told the press that India and the US had the same goals, but little coordination in Afghanistan.
Speaking in the presence of America’s top military official, Mike Mullen, he insisted on Wednesday that they were not visiting the region to negotiate between India and Pakistan.
