October 05, 2011  16:10

Afghan President Hamid Karzai today sought to reassure Pakistan about his country's new partnership deal signed with India, which will see New Delhi help train Afghan security forces.

"Pakistan is a twin brother, India is a great friend. The agreement that we signed yesterday with our friend will not affect our brother,' Karzai told an audience in New Delhi, reports the Dawn.

The strategic partnership sealed with India on Tuesday -- the first such pact between Afghanistan and another country -- deepens already friendly ties and aims to boost trade, security and cultural links.
