New Delhi: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday (September 9) said that Afghanistan should not become a “source of terrorism” and turn into a “threat to its neighbouring countries”. Russian President made the statement at the 13th BRICS summit, which was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. “The withdrawal of US forces and its allies from Afghanistan has led to a new crisis, and it's still unclear how this will affect global and regional security. It is for good reason that our countries have paid special attention to this issue,” Putin said at the virtual summit also attended by Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa and Chinese President Xi Jinping. He added, “Afghanistan should not become a threat to its neighbouring countries, a source of terrorism and drug trafficking.”More Related News
