Prime Minister Narendra Modi has called for an immediate and comprehensive ceasefire in Afghanistan to end a spike in violence. At a virtual meeting with Afghanistan President Ashraf Ghani on Thesday, Modi expressed concern over a surge in violence in Afghanistan and added that both countries want a region free of terrorism. Ghani sought guarantees for a stable Afghanistan and, in an apparent reference to Pakistan, said the world must ask all stakeholders to “stop giving sanctuaries and stop interfering in the affairs of their neighbours”.
