Afghan Embassy in Netherlands Confirm Engagement With Taliban Government

The Afghan embassy in the Netherlands has announced that the office is engaging with the Taliban's foreign ministry.

In a statement, the embassy called the purpose of communication with the Taliban as "the need to provide consular services" to Afghan citizens.

Zia Ahmad Takal, the deputy spokesperson of the Taliban’s foreign ministry, has also reposted the Afghan embassy’s post on social media platform X and confirmed the engagement with the Afghan embassy in the Netherlands.

On Tuesday, the Afghan Embassy in The Hague wrote, "The confirmation letters for the consular documents have been sent to the [Taliban] Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Kabul as usual."

The Afghan embassy in the Netherlands said that citizens can contact this embassy to receive consular services.

The Embassy of Afghanistan in the Hague is one of the diplomatic missions of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, which is managed by the diplomats of the previous government.

So far, no country has recognised the government of the Taliban, but some countries in the region have accepted the group’s diplomats.
