Seeking to allay apprehensions, Afghan President Hamid Karzai today said his country's strategic partnership with India was not targeted against "twin brother" Pakistan.
"Pakistan is a twin brother, India is a great friend. The agreement that we signed yesterday with our friend will not affect our brother," Karzai said during an interaction after delivering the Third R K Mishra Memorial lecture organised by the Observer Research Foundation here.
He said the neither India nor Afghanistan intended the strategic partnership to go beyond the two countries. "The signing of the strategic partnership with India is not directed against any country. It is not directed against any other entity. This is for Afghanistan to benefit from the strength of India," Karzai said.
