India to increase strength of Kabul embassy, says MEA, dodges question on recognition to Islamic Emirate

New Delhi, Nov 7 (UNI) Amid reports that the Afghan Taliban regime in Kabul is set to appoint its first diplomat in New Delhi, India today hedged on the question whether the move would be tantamount to giving recognition to the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan.
Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal, at a briefing, instead said that India is planning to increase the strength of its own embassy in Kabul that was last month upgraded from the status of a technical mission, following the landmark visit of the Afghan Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi to India and his talks with External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar.
The spokesperson said: “We had the visit of the foreign minister of Afghanistan to India recently. Since then, we've also had several exchanges in terms of development cooperation as also telephone conversations between the External Affairs Minister and the Foreign Minister of Afghanistan.
