India would play role in Afghanistan ‘with or without US’

India made it clear that it would continue to play a role in Afghanistan 'with or without America'.

Amid talk of the US looking for a strategy to exit Afghanistan,India made it clear that it would continue to play a role in the war-torn nation ‘with or without America’ as it has crucial stakes in the stability of country on its periphery.

Ahead of the meeting between Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and President Barack Obama during which Afghanistan will figure,sources said India’s policy on Afghanistan will be determined by its own interests and not by what others do.

Singh will be here on a four-day visit to attend Nuclear Security Summit on April 12-13.

“We will play a role in Afghanistan with or without the US because Afghanistan is in our immediate periphery and we will do all to protect our periphery,” sources said.
