Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi warned Pakistan against testing "Afghan courage" during his maiden India visit, condemning cross-border strikes targeting TTP camps in Kabul. Meeting External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar, Muttaqi assured Afghanistan won't allow its territory against any country, adding historical lessons from Soviets, Americans, and NATO should remind Pakistan. Jaishankar announced reopening India's Kabul embassy, upgrading the technical mission, and providing humanitarian aid including ambulances, MRI/CT machines, vaccines, and cancer medicines. Both nations discussed security cooperation and combating cross-border terrorism. The high-level engagement marks India's strategic recalibration with Taliban, leveraging Islamabad's strained Kabul relations while maintaining India's $3 billion Afghanistan reconstruction investment.
