Taliban government to cease operations at Afghan Embassy in India's capital
Fox News
India has reportedly received a letter from the Afghan Embassy declaring the Taliban-run nation's intent to cease operations in New Delhi.
To date, the Afghan Embassy in New Delhi has been run by staff appointed by the previous government of ousted Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, with permission from the Indian authorities.
However, the Afghan ambassador has been out of India for several months and a steady stream of diplomats has departed for third countries, reportedly after receiving asylum, a ministry official said on condition of anonymity as he was not authorized to talk to reporters.
