"He and Dr Mohib reaffirmed the enduring strength of the bilateral partnership and committed to continue to consult closely. Mr Sullivan outlined the US plans to continue security assistance to the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces, as well as civilian assistance to help the Afghan people," said Emily Horne, spokesperson of the National Security Council, White House.
The two officials agreed on the importance of the two governments continuing to work closely together in support of common objectives, including a negotiated political settlement that ends the war in Afghanistan, Ms. Horne said adding that Mr. Sullivan highlighted that the US will stand firmly with the Afghan people as they seek to achieve durable and inclusive peace.
"India has been a hopeful partner in Afghanistan in terms of training and that kind of thing. Whether that continues, that is really for the Indian government to speak to, not for us to," Pentagon Press Secretary John Kirby told reporters at a news conference.
