Following the upgrade of diplomatic relations between India and Afghanistan, Indian media outlets reported that India has appointed a new chargé d’affaires for its embassy in Afghanistan after four years.
According to reports, Karan Yadav, who previously headed India’s technical mission in Kabul, has now been appointed as the chargé d’affaires at the Indian Embassy in Kabul.
Moeen Gul Samkanai, a political analyst, stated: “India is one of the regional superpowers and a member of organizations such as BRICS and the Shanghai Cooperation Organization. Therefore, we must maintain regional and international relations with them.”
The appointment of India’s chargé d’affaires to Afghanistan comes a day after the spokesperson of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan also described the strengthening of diplomatic relations with India as a sign of growing diplomatic engagement between the two countries.
Mohammad Ebrahim Fekrat Asadi, another political analyst, commented: “The recent tensions between Afghanistan and Pakistan prompted India to elevate its relations with Afghanistan, which also benefits India.”
Although over the past four years, relations between India and the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan have been minimal, the recent visit of Amir Khan Muttaqi, the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan’s foreign minister, to New Delhi appears to have opened the door for expanding ties with India.
