Karzai, who is travelling with eight cabinet ministers and scores of officials, is scheduled to hold talks with India''s President A.P.J. Abdul Kalam, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi, leader of the governing Congress Party. The trip comes eight days after a visit to Kabul by Indian Foreign Minister K. Natwar Singh, during which Karzai urged New Delhi to back a gas pipeline from Central Asia through impoverished Afghanistan. India is deciding whether to meet its expanding energy requirements with pipelines from Turkmenistan or Iran, both of which would pass through the territory of arch-rival Pakistan, or from Myanmar (Burma) in the east. With relations between India and Pakistan thawing, New Delhi is also pressing Islamabad to allow it to transport goods to Afghanistan through Pakistan instead of taking the current circuitous route, via Iran. India supports Afghanistan''s outdated health system and has supplied dozens of trucks and jeeps to Afghanistan''s new US-trained army. It is also involved in building roads and a multimillion-dollar dam near the western Afghan city of Herat. Karzai has had long links with India, especially with the northern city of Simla, where he was a student when Soviet troops invaded Afghanistan in 1979.
