'No hawker eviction this month', orders Calcutta HC in Raliway land encroachment case
India and the Taliban-led government in Afghanistan issued a strong, albeit veiled, collective warning to Pakistan regarding the use of their respective territories for cross-border terrorism. The warning came following a bilateral meeting in New Delhi between India's External Affairs Minister, Dr. S. Jaishankar, and the Taliban's Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi.
During the meeting, the Afghan Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, explicitly stated that Afghanistan "will not allow any troops to threaten or use our territory against others." He acknowledged the regional challenge of terrorism, positioning Afghanistan as being "at the forefront" of combating this threat. Muttaqi also thanked India for its prompt humanitarian aid following the recent earthquake, describing New Delhi as a "first responder" and a close friend.
In a move reinforcing bilateral ties, Jaishankar also announced that India is "fully committed" to reopening its embassy in Kabul. This decision signals a restoration of full diplomatic presence and a willingness to deepen engagement with the current regime, despite lingering international concerns.
