Afghan Foreign Minister Arrives in Delhi for First High-Level Visit Since Taliban Takeover

Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi arrived in New Delhi for a six-day visit, marking the first high-level trip from Kabul since the Taliban seized power in 2021. Muttaqi, who received a UN Security Council travel ban exemption for the visit, is scheduled to hold talks with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval. India has not formally recognised the Taliban government but maintains a "technical team" in Kabul, engaging on issues of humanitarian aid and security.
