Indian leaders hope visiting Afghan President Hamid Karzai this week will emphasize the safeguarding of mutual interests between the two countries based on historical and cultural links as talks cover the U.S. troop withdrawal from Afghanistan expected to begin this summer.
New Delhi has pledged $1.3 billion in reconstruction aid to the violence-racked nation since 2001, making it Afghanistan\'s fifth-largest donor. It has built roads and hospitals, maintained a generous visa policy and educated many of the country\'s top leaders, including Karzai, who was scheduled to arrive Wednesday for a two-day visit.
