India participated in a regional conference organised by the Taliban in Kabul on Monday, where it emphasised that New Delhi actively took part in international and regional initiatives regarding Afghanistan.
Former Ambassador Mamundzay's announcement of the closure of the embassy was more to do with internal power struggle and departure of around 20 diplomats from India seeking asylum in the West.
"The decision follows the embassy's earlier cessation of operations on September 30, a move made in the hope that the Indian government stance will favourably change to let the mission operate normally," The Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan said in an official release.
