US National Security Adviser Discusses Afghanistan in India

by VOA News

   NEW DELHI --

   President Donald Trump's national security adviser has discussed the
   situation in Afghanistan with India's prime minister, nearly a week
   after the U.S. military dropped a massive non-nuclear bomb in the
   country that it said killed 94 militants.
   H.R. McMaster's meeting Tuesday with Prime Minister Narendra Modi
   marked the first visit by a Trump administration official to India, a
   key ally in Asia.
   The U.S. Embassy says the two also discussed ways to increase defense
   and counter-terrorism cooperation, and McMaster assured Modi of India's
   status as a major defense partner in the global fight against
   terrorism.
   Indian TV stations broadcast images of McMaster and Modi, each flanked
   by officials, sitting together at Modi's home in the Indian capital.
   McMaster's visit followed stops in Kabul and Islamabad.
