India and Taliban Defense Minister Discuss Bilateral Relations in Kabul

Mullah Yaqoob Mujahid, Taliban’s Defense Minister, met with an Indian delegation to discuss expanding bilateral relations between Kabul and New Delhi. The delegation was led by JP Singh, Deputy Foreign Minister of India for PIA affairs, as announced by the Taliban’s Defense Ministry on Wednesday, November 6.

During the meeting, both parties expressed their interest in increasing engagement between the two capitals. They emphasized their mutual desire to strengthen bilateral relations, particularly in humanitarian cooperation and other areas of mutual interest.

Although India has not officially recognized the Taliban, Delhi continues to maintain diplomatic contact through regular delegations to Kabul. Last year, India agreed to provide technical assistance to the Central Bank under Taliban administration.
