Resumption of flights to Kabul important for regular flow of relief material: EAM

Speaking at the UN high-level meet, External Affairs Minister Dr S Jaishankar on September 13 underlined the importance of resumption of commercial flights to Kabul airport. “It's important that issue of travel and safe passage that can emerge as obstacle to humanitarian assistance be immediately sorted out. Those who wish to travel in and out of Afghanistan should be granted such facilities without obstruction,” said EAM. “The normalisation of regular commercial operations of Kabul airport would not only assist in that regard but then become the basis of a regular flow of relief material. This would also accelerate activities that would complement domestic relief measures,” he added.
