New Delhi:
At the invitation of the Italian Presidency of the G-20, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will participate in the upcoming G20 Extraordinary Leaders’ Summit on Afghanistan on October 12, Tuesday in virtual format.

External Affairs Minister, Dr. S Jaishankar also had participated in the meeting of G-20 Foreign Ministers on Afghanistan on the margins of the UN General Assembly in New York.
The G-20 comprises twenty of the world’s major economies and is an important platform to help build international consensus and facilitate a coordinated approach between multilateral organizations, including the UN and its agencies.
The deliberation would help global and regional actors to address the "worsening humanitarian crisis" in Afghanistan.
Things are in stalemate in Afghanistan since August 15 when Taliban entered Kabul and later took over reins of war-devastated Afghanistan.
The Taliban regime is trying hard for international recognition but for it's part, it has not done to invite such recognition.
The condition of women remains a matter of deep concern in Afghanistan despite pressures from international community.
The UNSC resolution under India's presidency in August had called for ensuring of an inclusive regime in Afghanistan.
India strongly condemns terror attack on a Shia Mosque in Afghanistan
New Delhi:
India on October 11, Monday, strongly condemned the terrorist attack on a Shia Mosque in Kunduz, Afghanistan in which more than 100 Afghans were reported to have lost lives and several others injured.
"We extend our condolences and sympathies to the families of the victims during their difficult time," an MEA statement said.
It said: "India stands committed in the fight against the scourge of terrorism and reiterates the importance of combating terrorism in Afghanistan. We stand with the people of Afghanistan and hope that perpetrators of this attack would be identified and brought to justice expeditiously".
A suicide blast ripped through a Shia mosque in northern Afghanistan on Friday killing 46 people and
injuring 143 others, media reports said.
The attack occurred during Friday prayers at the Sayed Abad mosque in Kunduz.
A Taliban spokesman also has said that security forces were on the scene and an
investigation was underway.
Notably, the ISIS-K claimed responsibility for the blast, according to a statement released
by the group.
It said that a suicide bomber detonated his explosive vest among Shia worshipers inside a mosque
during Friday Prayers in Khan Abad district of Kunduz.
The bombing came days after another mosque was targeted in central Kabul, killing at least seven
people.
The attack on Monday targeted the gates of the Eidgah Mosque in the Afghan capital, where a funeral service
was being held for the mother of Taliban spokesman Muhajid.
The Islamic State affiliate IS Khorasan (ISIS-K) had claimed responsibility for Monday's bombing as well.
The situation in Afghanistan has not given any confidence to the global community.
