.@hmohib: The new Biden plan to withdraw by Sept 2020 is a great opportunity for the Afghans to take control of the security situation in the country. Afghanistan does not need US combat troops on the group, it needs support for its armed forces #Raisina2021
.@hmohib: Its time for the Taliban to make peace with the Afghan govt. and become part of the mainstream Afghan society #Raisina2020
Attended #RaisinaDialogue2020 last week. The content (talks and panels) was excellent. And so was the organization of the event.
Conference organization issues are some of my pet peeves (see tweet below) and hence want to highlight all the best practices at this conference. 1/n

Some of these are basics...but not often adhered to at conferences (especially in India).
Sessions started and ended, dot on time...with very few genuine exceptions.
No time was wasted in unduly long preambles or introductions of speakers (bios are available online/print).

No formalities of 'token' gifts or mementos to speakers and panelists. This takes up unnecessary amount of time at most conferences!
Only a short break (under 30 sec) for a group photo of the panel/speaker..that's it...and then we move onto the next session.

More than 80% of the Maldives’ land is less than a meter above mean sea levels, making its population of around 530,000 people extremely vulnerable.
100+ of the archipelago’s inhabited islands were already reporting erosion, and 30 islands are identified as severely eroded.

The Maldives spends around $10 million annually for coastal protection works, but will need up to $8.8 billion in total to shield all of its inhabited islands, according to a 2016 estimate by its environment ministry.

Iran Foreign Minister @JZarif : People of India in 430 cities are mourning the death of General Soleimani. Who is celebrating? It's President @realDonaldTrump, Secretary @SecPompeo and #ISIS.
US should show they have intent to fight ISIS.

Standing room only as @JZarif and @SunjoyJ start one of the most awaited sessions of the day. #Raisina2020
Interesting. @JZarif says that the Obama admin slow rolled clearance for @Airbus to sell airliners to Iran after JCPOA for seven months in 2016, while the same clearance was issued to @Boeing in two months.
“Why do you allow the USA to bully you?” @JZarif clearly has no hope with the US and is making an impassioned appeal to Europe to play ball independent of the Americans.
Canada’s former Prime Minister @stephenharper says Tehran’s regime is based on religious fanactism & anti-semitism. Says he would be glad to see change of regime if that’s an outcome of people’s movement. Last week Iran shot down a plane killing around 70 Canadians. #Raisina2020
Former president of Afghanistan @KarzaiH says he noticed during his recent visit to Iran that the regime is more inclined to improving relations with the West. Says the US must show wisdom and take the lead. #Raisina2020
Former NATO Secretary General @AndersFoghR says it’s important that NATO members should expand their operations outside their territory to keep people safe. Says Europe is paying a price for not engaging enough in the Middle East. #Raisina2020
