India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval on Wednesday chaired the Delhi Security Dialogue on Afghanistan and highlighted the importance of developments in the war-torn country and its implications for the region.

India is hosting the Delhi Regional Security Dialogue on Afghanistan in the backdrop of a Taliban takeover in the country in August this year. The key agenda of the NSA-level meeting is recent developments in Afghanistan and regional issues. Eight countries are attending the meeting - India, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Russia and Iran. Cross-border terror threats, supporting peace, security and stability in Afghanistan were the other highpoints of the meeting.

China and its all weather ally Pakistan have opted out of the security dialogue.
