Click to play videoNew Delhi: Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai arrived on Tuesday on a two day visit to India. Both countries are expected to boost their strategic partnership and take stock of the situation in Afghanistan.
Apart from meeting Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, Karzai is also expected to meet External Affairs Minister SM Krishna and National Security Advisor Shiv Shankar Menon.
This will be the third meeting between the Prime Minister and Karzai this year and it comes in the backdrop of Afghan opposition leader Burhanuddin Rabbani's assassination, giving a setback to the peace talks with the Taliban.
Karzai's visit comes in the backdrop of controversy over the alleged nexus between Pakistan and the Haqqani group.
Karzai has been jolted by the assassination of Afghan president Burhanuddin Rabbani - suspected to have been killed by the very Taliban he was meant to make peace with.
The Afghan government has openly blamed a Pakistani for the assassination - while quietly accusing the ISI for involvement.
The fallout has been swift between Karzai and the Taliban with the former giving up talking to the Taliban directly. He has also suspended all US-Afghanistan-Pakistan talks.
