Kabul ‘technical mission’ upgraded to an embassy
Hindustan Times Noida
|October 22, 2025
India on Tuesday announced the upgrading of its diplomatic presence in Afghanistan from the status of a technical mission in Kabul to a full-fledged embassy as part of its engagement with the Taliban while stopping short of a formal recognition of the regime that came to power in August 2021.
The formal announcement from the external affairs ministry came less than a week after Taliban foreign minister Amir Khan Muttaqi concluded his visit to India, the first by a senior member of the group.
Following talks with Muttaqi on October 10, external affairs minister S Jaishankar had said that India would upgrade its diplomatic role in Kabul.
India withdrew its officials from and shuttered all its missions in Afghanistan after the Taliban had seized power in 2021.
