Is India incrementally moving towards formal recognition of the Taliban regime in Afghanistan? It would appear so.

While India has already upgraded its technical mission in Kabul to an embassy with a charge de affairs in place, StratNewsGlobal learns that an official being sent by the Taliban regime is expected to take over as charge de affairs at the Afghan embassy in Delhi. It could happen fairly soon.

This was reportedly among a clutch of decisions taken during the recent visit of Taliban acting foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi.
