India and Afghanistan have agreed to launch a New Development Partnership through which the countries will jointly implement 116 “high impact” development projects across Afghanistan.
India will aid Afghanistan in infrastructural projects such as constructing dams, roads, and power transmission lines, among other things. These projects will not only be in the Afghanistan’s capital Kabul, but also in 31 provinces across the country.
India and Afghanistan signed a Motor Vehicles Agreement for the regulation of passenger, personal and cargo vehicular traffic, which would provide the necessary infrastructure for much-needed overland transit. India will also help build affordable housing for refugees.
