The Republic of Balochistan extends its heartfelt appreciation to the Republic of India for its continued humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan including the generous donation of 20 ambulances, new development initiatives, increased flight connectivity, eased visa policies for Afghan patients, students, and businesspersons, support for rebuilding critical infrastructure, and the upgradation of its technical mission to the embassy status in Kabul.

India and Afghanistan share centuries of civilizational and cultural friendship. Such renewed engagement at the governmental level will play a vital role in countering Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and dismantling the obstacles that hinder regional peace and economic prosperity.

As a rising regional power and the natural gateway to international trade routes, Balochistan assures the Afghan nation that our land, airspace, and seas will never be permitted to be misused by Pakistan’s occupying forces to threaten the sovereignty or interests of Afghanistan and its allies.
