Kabul : The killing of Osama bin Laden by US commandos in Pakistan provides “a unique moment” for the region to step up their war on terror, Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said Thursday.
The prime minister also told a news conference on the first day of his two-day trip to Kabul that India’s growing relations with Afghanistan were not directed at Pakistan.
“The death of Osama creates a situation,” Manmohan Singh said, referring to the May 2 assault by the US military on the elusive Al Qaeda chief’s hideout deep inside Pakistan.
“I sincerely hope that all countries of the region, Afghanistan, Pakistan and India, would recognise this is unique moment in history… and agree to work unitedly to fight this scourge of terrorism.”
