India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar held a significant conversation with Afghanistan's acting Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi, marking the highest-level political engagement since the Taliban's return to power in August 2021. This dialogue follows a series of interactions, including a meeting between Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Muttaqi in Dubai earlier this year. The discussions focused on condemning the recent Pahalgam terrorist attack and reaffirming the traditional friendship between India and the Afghan people. Despite not officially recognizing the Taliban regime, India has maintained a technical mission in Kabul, indicating a pragmatic approach to regional diplomacy amid escalating tensions with Pakistan.
