NEW DELHI: Afghanistan's UN-sanctioned foreign minister arrived in India on Thursday, the first visit by a top Taliban leader since they returned to power in 2021 following the withdrawal of US-led forces.
Amir Khan Muttaqi's trip -- made possible after the UN Security Council granted him a travel waiver -- is expected to be closely watched by India's arch-rival Pakistan, as New Delhi deepens its engagement with the Taliban government.
