Afghanistan Embassy News: In a significant diplomatic move, Afghanistan has officially announced the permanent closure of its embassy situated in Delhi. The decision, effective from November 23, 2023, comes as a response to the persistent challenges faced by the Government of Afghanistan in its dealings with India. The Afghan Embassy conveyed that this step is taken in the hope of a more favorable approach from the Government of India for the resumption of normal embassy operations, emphasizing that the decision is not indicative of internal conflict.
The Taliban are suspending consular services at two Afghan embassies, London and Vienna, over their lack of transparency and cooperation with authorities in Kabul, a foreign ministry spokesman said Sunday. Most of Afghanistan s embassies and consulates are staffed by people from the former Western-backed administration, with around a dozen under the Taliban administration s full control.
