Days after its representatives depart the country; Afghanistan closes its embassy in India

New Delhi (PNI) On Sunday, the Afghan embassy in India took a significant step by officially ceasing all of its operations after the ambassador and many senior officials left the country in search of asylum in Europe and the US.

The majority of foreign countries, including India, still refuse to recognize Afghanistan’s Taliban administration as the de facto ruling authority more than two years after the Taliban retook control of Kabul following the fall of the Western-backed government, leaving numerous Afghan embassies and consulates in limbo.

Furthermore, when the Taliban seized power, diplomats sent by the previous administration refused to give up control of embassy buildings and property.
