NEW YORK â U.S. President Joe Biden has asked India and other regional countries to pitch in to help stabilize Afghanistan as Washington has decided to pull out its troops ending a 20-year-old war.
Announcing his plans April 14 to unconditionally bring home the last of the U.S. military before Sept. 11 this year, Biden said: "We'll ask other countries, other countries in the region, to do more to support Afghanistan, especially Pakistan, as well as Russia, China, India, and Turkey. They all have a significant stake in the stable future for Afghanistan."
The U.S. and NATO invaded Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks by Al Qaeda using hijacked aircraft on New York and Washington.
