KABUL, Afghanistan, May 12 (UPI) -- Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh traveled to Afghanistan Thursday to "advance our partnership to a new level in the coming years."
The two-day visit at the invitation of Afghan President Hamid Karzai was to be Singh's second since 2005. It comes in the wake of the May 2 killing of Osama bin Laden by U.S. forces in neighboring Pakistan, with whom India's relations remain strained since the Nov. 26, 2008, Mumbai terror carnage. Karzai last visited India in February.
