Welcoming India’s contribution and helping measures in Afghanistan, Talibans stated that they are looking for positive relationship with India. This is for the first time ever, Taliban has mentioned India by name and sought good relation.
Doha’s Taliban political office spokesperson, Suhail Shaheen, told Zee News, “Based on our national interest and mutual respect, we would like to have positive relations with neighbouring countries including India.”
Interestingly, Talibans have stated that they don’t have any agenda beyond their border. He said that the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan is a national Islamic movement of Afghanistan that is working for the “emancipation of Afghanistan from occupation.”
