New Delhi - Terrorism and regional security issues were to figure prominently in talks between Afghan President Hamid Karzai and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi Monday.

Karzai, who arrived in Delhi Sunday, was to express Afghanistan's condolences and solidarity with India over the November terrorist attacks in Mumbai in which more than 170 people were killed, a statement from Karzai's office said.

Singh was expected to share with Karzai details of investigations into the Mumbai attacks which India says were perpetrated by elements based in Pakistan.

Karzai would be discussing ways to boost existing relations between the two countries, "the latest situation in the region and fighting against terrorism," the statement said.

The security of 2,000 Indian workers involved in reconstruction activities in Afghanistan was also expected to figure in the talks along with the progress of investigations into the bomb attack on the Indian embassy in Kabul on July 7, 2008.

India has blamed Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency for the blast that killed more than 50 people including two Indian diplomats.

Karzai, accompanied by Afghan Foreign Minister Rangeen Dadfar Spanta and National Security Advisor Zalmay Rasoul, was scheduled to return to Kabul later Monday after talks with Singh and Indian Foreign Minister Pranab Mukherjee. (dpa)
