New Delhi to provide further support to Afghan health sector and rehabilitation of refugees, says India
\n NEW DELHI
\nIndia will consider engaging in development projects in Afghanistan in the near future, India\u2019s Foreign Ministry said on Wednesday, despite the lack of diplomatic relations.
\nThe statement followed a meeting between Indian Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri and Afghanistan\u2019s Acting Foreign Minister Mawlawi Amir Khan Muttaqi in Dubai.
\n\u201cIn response to the request from the Afghan side, India will provide further material support in the first instance to the health sector and for the rehabilitation of refugees,\u201d the statement said.
\nIndia has so far dispatched several shipments consisting of wheat, medicines, COVID vaccines, and winter clothing to Afghanistan.
\nIndia does not recognise the Taliban government which seized power in 2021 and closed its own embassy in Kabul after the Taliban took control that year.
\nAfghanistan\u2019s embassy in New Delhi was closed in November 2023 after diplomats appointed by the Afghan government ousted by the Taliban failed to secure visa extensions from their Indian hosts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
