Afghanistan's President Hamid Karzai (R) and India's Prime Minister Manmohan Singh (R) attend the inauguration of Habibia High School in Kabul August 28, 2005. Singh began a rare visit to Afghanistan on Sunday, the first by an Indian premier in nearly 30 years, as New Delhi steps up efforts to deepen historic links hit by years of conflict. The two-day visit is aimed at reaffirming New Delhi's strong commitment to help rebuild the war-torn nation and wrest back influence over the central Asian country which India lost to rival Pakistan during the 1990s.
