Beijing: On the issue of Afghanistan, India has called an important conference of security advisors of all countries under the leadership of National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval in Delhi on 10 November.

In such a situation, in this meeting to be held on Wednesday, except China-Pakistan, national security advisors of all Central Asian countries including Russia and Iran will be involved. China said that it would not be able to participate in this meeting due to scheduling issues.
Earlier, neighboring Pakistan has also refused to participate in the meeting. His invitation to this meeting was confirmed by the Foreign Office of Pakistan itself. At the same time, when Pakistan’s National Security Advisor (NSA) Moeed Yusuf was asked whether he would attend the meeting to be hosted by India? In response, Yusuf said, ‘I will not go. I’m not going. A disruptor (country), cannot be a peace-breaker.’ On this statement of Pakistan, India has said that it is unfortunate, but not surprising.
