India played productive role inside Afghanistan: US

Washington: Praising India for playing a useful and productive role inside war-torn Afghanistan, the US Friday said it is looking forward to India's leadership and its continued participation in regional security.

"India is a strong regional power and we know that India has interests in stability and security in the region. They have played a useful, productive role inside Afghanistan already in terms of some training that they have done," Pentagon Press Secretary Rear Admiral John Kirby said.

"I will leave it to India to decide and to speak to what they will contribute to regional security after the end of this year, but we certainly look to India's leadership and their continued participation," Kirby said in response to a question.
