As global talks kick-off in Bonn to chart the future course for Afghanistan, India today said it would "fully" support an Afghan-led and owned peace process.

External Affairs Minister S M Krishna arrived in Bonn for the conference attended by Foreign Ministers of 64 nations and senior officials from nearly 50 other countries except Pakistan.

"We totally support the people of Afghanistan in their path of peace and condemn the act of terrorism on innocent people," Krishna said on arrival here.

The second Bonn conference is also aimed at ensuring international financial and technical support continues after the NATO troops withdraw in 2014.
