According to the notice, the Indian embassy in Kabul inked an arrangement titled “immersing with Indian concepts,” under which diplomatic workers and other high officials will be trained online at the Afghan institute of diplomacy in Kabul.
According to Kabul diplomatic officials, these ties were developed through the Iranian government and would cause further friction between Kabul and Islamabad. They also stated that Islamabad should make its training facilities, including military and diplomatic institutes, available to the interim Afghan government in order to maintain a peaceful climate in the region.
Furthermore, another deal was previously made with the Ministry of Defence, resulting in the first batch of army cadets graduating from India’s military academy and the second group currently in training.

The announcement comes shortly after recently disclosed US records revealed that India’s backing of Afghan militia leaders, rather than the Afghan government, was a significant contributing cause to the fall of the government prior to the advance of Taliban forces in August 2021.
According to Indian media, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR) report mentions former Afghan Army General Hibatullah Alizai’s statement that the money given to warlords should have gone towards paying the salaries of the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF).
SIGAR’s assessment, released earlier this week, investigates the circumstances that contributed to the ANDSF’s demise, including underdevelopment of Afghan military and police capacities over the past two decades.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
