India and Afghanistan agree to expand Air Cargo Corridor to cover more
INDIA and Afghanistan have agreed to expand the Air Cargo Corridor that was launched in June 2017 between Kabul and Kandahar with New Delhi.
"It was agreed to expand it to include other cities in Afghanistan and India as well as to increase the frequency of the cargo flights between the two countries," a joint statement issued after the 2nd Strategic Partnership Council Meeting between two nations said.
The air cargo flights have given Afghan farmers direct access to Indian markets, Press Trust of India reported.
The two sides agreed to further cooperation in strengthening the Afghan National Agricultural Sciences and Technology University in Kandahar as an agricultural university.
India also welcomed Afghanistan's participation in the South Asia Satellite(SAS) project, a gift from New Delhi to its neighbours, as the two sides exchanged an Orbit Frequency Coordination Agreement on the project.
Except Pakistan, all South Asian countries have participated in the satellite project, which was launched in May this year.
India will also widen cooperation with Afghanistan in space technology by extending assistance in remote sensing.
