Russia is moving to establish 'full-fledged' relations with the Taliban, a move welcomed by the Afghan government formed by the Taliban. Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrey Rudenko emphasized that an inclusive government remains a condition for the Taliban's recognition but acknowledged the Taliban as a reality on the ground. The Taliban has praised Russia's decision to remove them from the list of terrorist groups, with spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid highlighting the 'extremely positive diplomatic and trading relations' between the two entities. This development comes as a Pakistani delegation led by Deputy Interior Minister Khurram Agha met with Taliban officials in Kabul to discuss the investigation into the March 2024 suicide attack in Besham targeting Chinese citizens. The Taliban accused Pakistan of attempting to drive a rift between China and the Taliban by holding them accountable for the attack. Despite these tensions, the Taliban's Foreign Ministry welcomed Russia's comments on broadening relations. Russian Presidential Envoy Zamir Kabulov also stressed the importance of the Taliban's control over Afghanistan for regional stability.
