The Afghan Minister of Foreign Affairs, Amir Khan Muttaqi, has arrived in India to discuss the international recognition of the Taliban.

Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Afghan Minister of Foreign Affairs, has begun a two-day visit to India, marking an important step in the Taliban's efforts to gain international recognition. Despite being under UN sanctions, he obtained a temporary suspension of these sanctions for this trip. India seeks to expand its influence in Afghanistan, in the context of deteriorating relations with Pakistan. This visit could strengthen the Taliban's position on the international stage, while India aspires to regional cooperation on security matters.
