Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Taliban’s Foreign Minister, is scheduled to visit Iran, China, and several other regional countries next week, according to a senior official from the group’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Zakir Jalali, an official within the ministry, made the announcement on Thursday but did not provide further details regarding the dates or agenda of the visits.
Jalali's remarks came shortly after a phone conversation between Muttaqi and India’s External Affairs Minister. He highlighted the Taliban's "active foreign policy," noting that Kabul has recently hosted multiple foreign delegations.
On 11 May, the Chinese ambassador in Kabul met with Muttaqi and delivered a formal invitation from the Chinese government for an official visit.
The upcoming trip underscores the Taliban’s continued diplomatic outreach, despite lacking formal international recognition.
