WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - The international community should exploit regional dialogue formats to ensure the Taliban* do not interfere in the affairs of Afghanistan's neighbors if the insurgent group eventually captures Kabul, former Indian diplomat M. K. Bhadrakumar told Sputnik.
In a phone call on Friday, US President Joe Biden and Afghan President Ashraf Ghani agreed the Taliban's current offensive contradicts the movement's claim to support a negotiated settlement. This comes a day after the Taliban said it controls 90% of Afghanistan's borders with Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and Iran.
