During the meeting, India responded to a request from Afghanistan for assistance, agreeing to provide further material support, particularly in the areas of health and refugee rehabilitation. The statement emphasized that India’s initial focus would be on contributing aid to Afghanistan’s health sector and addressing the needs of refugees.
