NEW DELHI, Feb 24 (AFP): India Thursday renewed its pledge to help rebuild war-ravaged Afghanistan and signed two accords to help Kabul strengthen its civil aviation sector and television transmission technology, an official statement said.
The signing of the accords followed talks in the Indian capital between Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and visiting Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
The aviation agreement "is aimed at building capacity and strengthening institutional infrastructure of Afghanistan's civil aviation sector," the Indian foreign ministry statement said.
"This would include training in areas of airport management, air traffic control and navigational aids including safety and maintenance of aircraft," it said.
The second accord calls for closer links between television and media organisations of both countries.
