India Upgrades Diplomatic Mission in Kabul to Full Embassy

India has upgraded its 'Technical Mission' in Kabul to a full-fledged embassy, signaling a significant step in deepening engagement with Afghanistan's Taliban administration. The Ministry of External Affairs announced the move would take effect immediately, following a recent visit by the Taliban's acting Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi. The decision aims to augment India's contribution to Afghanistan's development and humanitarian aid. This move positions India among a handful of countries with a robust diplomatic presence in post-takeover Afghanistan.
