Sirajuddin Haqqani, the acting interior minister of the Taliban government, met with Zamir Kabulov, the special envoy of the Russian president for Afghanistan, in Kabul to discuss regional matters.

Taliban interior ministry spokesperson Abdul Mateen Qani stated that both sides discussed the regional situation, current challenges, and the importance of sustained dialogue during the meeting.

According to Qani, the Taliban government's efforts and achievements in countering illicit narcotics were commended, and the Taliban's stance regarding United Nations drug reports was outlined.

Kabulov has been in Kabul for several days and previously met with the Taliban government's acting foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, to review bilateral relations.

Russia has steadily expanded its diplomatic and commercial engagement with the Taliban government, emphasizing bilateral trade and economic cooperation.

Despite broadening these ties, Moscow continues to voice serious concerns regarding the presence and activities of the Islamic State Khorasan Province (ISKP) inside Afghanistan.
