With the United States’ withdrawal from Afghanistan nearing its completion, Turkey is preparing to step into the gap and may find support from a surprising partner; India. Nayanima Basu, the diplomacy editor for online newspaper ThePrint, explained to Ahval News that for all their disagreements in recent years, India welcomes a Turkish role in a post-war Afghanistan. “India realises the role Turkey wants to play and has played in Afghanistan,” Bosu told Ahval in a recent podcast. She said that for India, a Turkish role after the U.S. exit is in fact considered something of a welcome move in New Delhi.
