Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh addressed Afghan parliament on Friday and proposed formation of inter-parliamentary friendship association between the parliaments of the two countries.

"If you agree, I am proposing formation of inter-parliamentary friendship association between Afghanistan and India," Prime Minister Sing told joint session of both chambers of parliament.

Singh is the first foreign leader delivering speech at Afghan parliament which composed of Wolesi Jirga or Lower House and Mushrano Jirga or Upper House, at which he stated that India would continue to support the war-torn Afghanistan in its rebuilding process.

The Prime Minister also noted that his government supports Afghan government's peace talks with the armed opposition groups and the transferring of security responsibility from 140,000- strong NATO-led troops to Afghan security forces. The process begins from July this year and would be completed by the end of 2014.

Singh who paid a two-day visit to Afghanistan on Thursday earlier held a meeting with Afghan President Hamid Karzai and announced 500 million U.S. dollars as aid to Afghanistan, bringing Indian contribution to some 2 billion U.S. dollars to the war-torn nation since 2002.

India, according to Afghan government, has already contributed some 1.5 billion U.S. dollars to post-Taliban Afghanistan.
