Taliban Denounced Pahalgam Attack: India

  • On May 15, 2025, India's External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar conducted a telephone discussion with Afghanistan's Deputy Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi, representing India's first direct minister-level engagement with the Taliban-led government since August 2021.
  • This conversation followed years of limited engagement and aimed to address recent tensions arising from the Pahalgam terror attack in Jammu and Kashmir on April 22, which killed 26 civilians, mostly tourists.
  • During the call, Muttaqi condemned the Pahalgam attack and rejected false reports trying to sow distrust between India and Afghanistan, while Jaishankar welcomed this stance and discussed expanding cooperation.
  • Jaishankar expressed gratitude for the Taliban regime's denunciation of the Pahalgam terrorist attack and reiterated that India continues to prioritize humanitarian efforts despite not formally recognizing the Taliban government.
  • The dialogue indicates a cautious but growing political engagement between India and the Taliban, which could facilitate smooth humanitarian and business interactions amid regional complexities.
