Ø  Unfazed by terror attacks on its missions, India will continue to extend cooperation in war-torn Afghanistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Saturday, after inaugurating the Rs. 1,700-crore Afghan-India Friendship Dam along with President Ashraf Ghani, in the strategically vital Herat province. Mr. Modi said other countries may have a “sunset clause” but India’s ties with Afghanistan remain “timeless.” “Our resources may be modest, but our will is boundless. For others, their commitments may have a sunset clause, but our relationship is timeless. We face barriers of geography and politics, but we define our path from the clarity of our purpose,” he said.
