New Delhi, October 3 (IANS): The visit by Afghan Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi marks a new chapter in the engagement between India and the Taliban. Muttaqi was earlier scheduled to visit India in September, but the plan failed after the UN refused to give permission. Muttaqi has served as Foreign Minister since the US withdrew its troops in 2021. He had taken part in a trilateral meeting with Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and Pakistani Minister Ishaq Dar. Taking all these considerations, the visit by Muttaqi is important for India, and the engagements would be closely watched by many.
