India has delivered a batch of ambulances to Afghanistan as health cooperation between the two countries continues to strengthen.
In October, during a visit by Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi to India, New Delhi announced its plan to donate 20 ambulances to Afghanistan as a gesture of goodwill.
The delivery forms part of the expanding partnership between the two countries in the healthcare sector. Recently, Afghanistan’s Minister of Public Health, Noor Jalal Jalali, visited New Delhi and noted that Kabul is exploring alternative avenues for procuring medicines, reducing reliance on Pakistan.
