NEW DELHI: In a significant diplomatic step, India has upgraded its Technical Mission in Kabul to a full-fledged Embassy, reaffirming its commitment to deeper engagement with Afghanistan. The decision, announced by the Ministry of External Affairs on Tuesday, follows the recent visit of Afghanistan’s Foreign Minister to New Delhi, which officials described as a turning point in bilateral relations.
The move marks India’s renewed focus on political, economic, and humanitarian cooperation with Afghanistan. The upgraded Embassy will facilitate capacity-building projects, humanitarian relief, and infrastructure development — areas where India has long played a vital role.
