The Taliban administration and India have intensified links since the outfit first reached power in Kabul on August 16, 2021, although India has not yet been fully normalized clothing relations. Indian official policy focused on the well -being of the Afghan people, and in this respect the Indian government allowed the Taliban to gradually take over Afghan missions in Delhi, Mumbai and Hyderabad to meet the consular requirements of Afghan students, visitors and entrepreneurs.
“They underlined our traditional friendship with Afghan people and continued support of their development needs. They discussed ways and means to advance,” said Mr. Jaishankar. Jaishankar refuted the news in the Pakistani media that tried to combine the Taliban with the development in Kashmir.
Hafiz Zia Ahmed, the director of the public road to the “Foreign Affairs” Taliban, introduced a detailed “X” contribution that announced that Mr. Muttaqi asked Mr. Jaishankar to help ensure more Indian visas for Afghan patients and visitors. He also called on the Indian government to help liberate Afghan prisoners in Indian prisons.

Despite the lack of formal bonds of India, Taliban involves higher diplomats and emphasizes the need for humanitarian aid to the Afghan population. Senior Indian Diplomat JP Singh traveled to Kabul in March 2024 when he met Mr. Muttaqi. In November 2024, Mr. Singh traveled to Afghanistan again to meet the reigning Minister of Defense Mohammad Yaqub Mujahid in Kabul. Against the background of the Pahalgam attack in India, all trade and imports of goods that origin in Pakistan have stopped, and there was concern that this step could also have an impact on imports from Afghanistan. The growing conversation between India and the Taliban will contribute to the extermination of business and humanitarian channels that exist between India and Taliban will contribute. The official source described the interview between Mr. Jaishankar and Mr. Muttaqi as a step that came at a “suitable moment” with regard to the overall regional situation.
