India's engagement with the Taliban: what's next? | Worldview with Suhasini Haidar | The Hindu

Описание: In a sudden move, the Modi government sent a senior MEA official and diplomat to Kabul to meet with the Taliban regime’s acting foreign minister Amir Khan Mottaqi.

Thus far, Delhi, which doesn’t have an embassy in Kabul and like other countries doesn't recognise the Taliban regime, had not sent a former delegation, which many countries have.

The MEA said that the visit was about humanitarian assistance. In a statement announcing the visit, it said that the team, led by Jt Secretary JP Singh and consisting of a number of diplomatic and security officials met with Mr Mottaqi and also toured India-funded facilities like the Chimtala power plant, a hospital and a school.
