New Delhi will host the second trilateral dialogue with Afghanistan and US on February 19, the US State Department said Friday.

The meeting will focus on co-operation between the three countries post-2014 when the US forces are scheduled to hand over control for security operations to Afghan troops, the State Department said in a statement.

The US delegation, led by Assistant Secretary of State for South and Central Asia Robert Blake, will include the Deputy Special Representative for Afghanistan and Pakistan.

"The United States, India and Afghanistan all share a common vision for a strong, peaceful, and prosperous region and have pledged to work together on common challenges and opportunities including combating violent extremism, strengthening cultural exchanges and increasing regional trade and economic integration," the State Department said.

"The trilateral reflects our mutual commitments to transparency and coordination as Afghanistan continues with it ongoing security, economic and political transitions," it added.

The meeting closely follows the trilateral meeting between Afghanistan, Pakistan and Britain last month.

The first trilateral consultation with India and the US took place in New York City on September 25.
