Afghan President Hamid Karzai flew to India Sunday on an official visit that will include talks on the fight against terrorism, officials said. Karzai would meet Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee in New Delhi on Monday and return to the Afghan capital Kabul the same day, Indian foreign ministry officials said.
The Afghan leader will also convey a message of "solidarity and condolences of the people of Afghanistan" to the Indian nation in the aftermath of the deadly November attacks in Mumbai, Karzai's office said in Kabul.
Karzai and Singh will hold talks on "the latest situation in the region, fighting against terrorism and enhanced economic co-operation", it said in a statement. "The prevailing security scenario is on the agenda for the talks between the leaders," an Indian official said as Karzai reached India.
