Karzai attends Raisina Dialogue 2016 in Delhi

Former Afghanistan president Hamid Karzai attended the ongoing Raisina Dialogue 2016, which began in New Delhi on Tuesday.

Karzai was invited to the conference by Observer Research Foundation (ORF), an Indian think tank, which is the organising partner of the Raisina Dialogue 2016 with the Ministry of External Affairs.

Besides the Afghan delegation, over 400 personalities from 40 countries and organisations have been invited to the March 1-3 event, Khaama Press reported.

Envisioned as India's flagship conference on geopolitics and geoeconomics, the Raisina Dialogue 2016 is designed to explore prospects and opportunities for Asian integration as well as Asia's integration with the whole world.

It is predicated on India's vital role in the region and how India along with its partners can build a stable regional and world order.

The 2016 conclave will focus on Asia's physical, economic, digital connectivity and fostering common global spaces with an emphasis on Asia.
