In a significant diplomatic development, Taliban Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi is set to visit India, marking the first-ever official engagement between New Delhi and the Taliban regime. The trip, cleared after the UN Security Council’s Taliban Sanctions Committee granted him an exemption on September 30, is being closely watched as it signals a potential new chapter in India-Afghanistan relations.

Muttaqi will be in New Delhi from October 9 to 16, where he is scheduled to meet India’s External Affairs Minister Dr. S. Jaishankar and is also likely to hold talks with National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. The visit is being seen as a diplomatic breakthrough, coming after years of strained ties between India and the Taliban.
