For the First time, Indian Delegation meets Taliban Leadership.

June 3, 2022

In a major development, an Indian delegation for the first time met the senior Taliban leaders in Kabul since it took control of Afghanistan in August last year.
The Indian team headed by a senior diplomat discussed humanitarian assistance to the people of the strife-torn nation.
The on-going visit comes against the backdrop of reports indicating that India may reopen its Embassy in Kabul, shut shortly after the Taliban took over the country on August 15 last year.
More than 15 countries have already reopened their Embassies there.
The Ministry said the team is on a visit to Kabul to oversee the delivery operations of India’s humanitarian assistance to Afghanistan.
In this endeavour, India has already dispatched several shipments of humanitarian assistance consisting of 20,000 MTs of wheat, 13 tonnes of medicines, 500,000 doses of Covid vaccine and winter clothing,”
