41 Taliban Officials Sent To China For Training

Taliban’s Administrative Office of the Prime Minister has announced that 41 of its employees have been sent to China.

On Saturday, this office wrote on the X social media platform that these individuals are employees of nine ministries and the civil service administration, and have been sent to China for professional training.

The office did not specify which ministries these individuals belong to, or the duration of the training programme.

China, like other countries, does not recognise the Taliban, but maintains diplomatic and economic relations with the group.

In June, a 14-day training programme was also held in China for 22 employees of the Taliban's Ministry of Mines and Petroleum.

China holds the rights to extract copper from the Aynak mine in Afghanistan for 30 years.
