Afghanistan’s Taliban-led government appoints acting consul in Mumbai

“Kamil has agreed to function as a diplomat in the Afghan consulate and is an Afghan national working for Afghans in India. As far as the issue of recognition of the Taliban, there is a set process for recognition of any government and India will continue to work with the international community on this issue,” said a source.It may be recalled that over the past three years, Afghan diplomats manning the embassy and consulates in India have left seeking refuge or asylum in different Western countries. A lone former diplomat who continued to stay in India has somehow kept the Afghan missions running.There is a large Afghan community based in India which is in need of consular services for which more diplomatic staff are required.
