Even as Pakistan and China are not taking part in a regional dialogue on Afghanistan hosted by Delhi on November 10, NSAs of seven countries will participate in the first-of-its-kind dialogue which will focus on security-related issues and is distinct from foreign-ministry led talks.National Security Advisers or Secretaries of Security Councils of five central Asian countries - Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Turkmenistan besides Russia and Iran - will attend the Delhi meet on Afghanistan.This is the highest number of countries taking part in this format. The meeting will be chaired by India's National Security Advisor Ajit Doval.

NSA Doval also hosted BRICS meeting on Afghanistan.

This is the reason they are engaging deeply. There is considerable worry about the implications of what happened in these societies."If we find some common ground in the meeting, it will be forward movement. Key countries of region agree upon threats we all face and what should be done in future. Sometimes, there is no consensus on threats we face. We are hopeful there will be unanimity," a source said.Uncertainty in Afghanistan is another factor that is a cause of concern for participating members.There is no clarity on which way and what will be the shape of things to come in future in Afghanistan."There is a high degree of convergence. Points of concern are very similar. Our objective in Afghanistan is to take into account rights of the minority," the source added.Growing radicalisation and extremism worries central Asian countries and they are against "exports of ideology from Afghanistan".
