KEY POINTS
· The speedy withdrawal of US troops from Afghanistan has been matched by the swift advance of the Taliban across the nation.
· While Washington has confirmed that 90 per cent of the withdrawal is done, the Taliban leadership has claimed that it is in control of 85 per cent of Afghan territory.
· A regional conclave of foreign ministers taking place in Dushanbe under the banner of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation should give us a sense of the unfolding regional dynamic on Afghanistan.
· The US withdrawal from Afghanistan today also reinforces the strongly held conviction in Beijing that the US is in terminal decline.
· Coming at a time when China is offering an alternative to the Western model of domestic and international governance.
· Pakistan’s deep connections to the Taliban combined with China’s massive economic resources could, in theory, contribute to the transformation of Afghanistan.
· For India, the era of prolonged peace in Afghanistan secured by the US military presence has come to an end.
· There is also the danger that Afghanistan under the Taliban could also begin to nurture anti-India terror groups.
· If India remains active, but patient, many opportunities could open up in the new Afghan phase.
· Structural conditions will continue to shape India’s Afghan policy, India’s lack of direct physical access to Afghanistan. This underlines the importance of Delhi having effective regional partners.
