An Indian visionary committed to regional peace: South Asian leaders remember Manmohan Singh

The Hindu  

“Take steady steps and take your time” was the advice then Prime Minister Manmohan Singh gave Hamid Karzai, who became President of Afghanistan at the age of 45, when he first met him in 2004. Speaking to The Hindu on Friday, Mr. Karzai said India and Afghanistan had the “best relations” during Dr. Singh’s tenure, as India became Afghanistan’s first Strategic Partner in 2012. “Nepal will forever remember his support for democracy and lasting friendship,” wrote Mr. Oli, and said that Dr. Singh’s “wisdom, humility, and dedication shaped India and inspired the region”. Mr. Yunus said that as Prime Minister, Dr. Singh had “contributed to strengthening the bond of friendship and mutually beneficial cooperation between Bangladesh and India”. “Beyond his remarkable achievements in the field of economics, Dr. Singh demonstrated a commitment to promoting regional peace,” Mr. Dar said, adding that he had played a “notable role in improving Pakistan-India bilateral relations during his tenure as Prime Minister.” Although India and Pakistan came close to a non-territorial resolution to the Jammu and Kashmir dispute, the process was derailed after the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks.
