About Afghanistan and assistance from the region<\/h5>\n

The Taliban have welcomed India\u2019s offer and expect assistance from all countries in the region. For instance, Afghanistan negotiated with Pakistan.

Why does this wheat is not sent to Afghanistan so far?<\/h5>\n

1. Logistics required to send the 50,000 metric tons is complex, 2. Challenges with paperwork and an interchange of trucks at Wagah border, 3.

The security concerns, arising from the Taliban\u2019s proximity to Pakistan and the terrorist groups based there, will continue to limit Indian efforts. But, the dispatch of humanitarian aid may provide a diplomatic opportunity for India.<\/p>\n
