Indian special envoy Anand Prakash travelled to Kabul, Afghanistan to meet the Taliban leadership.
Anand Prakash, the Special Representative of the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) of India and Director General of the Afghanistan, Iran, and Pakistan Department, held a meeting with Afghanistan Foreign Minister Maulvi Amir Khan Muttaqi.
Their discussion focused on strengthening bilateral political relations, enhancing trade and transit cooperation, and exchanging views on recent regional developments. Both sides emphasised the importance of bilateral engagements, streamlining visa procedures, promoting the exchange of delegations, and strengthening cooperation in various fields.
This meeting comes amid growing tensions between India and Pakistan as the former has downgraded diplomatic ties with the latter following the deadly terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir's Pahalgam. The terror attack on April 22 killed 26 people, mostly tourists.
