Acting Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi of Afghanistan is undertaking his first visit to India, a week-long trip focused on political, economic, and cultural engagements, aiming for broader international acceptance for the Taliban administration and stronger ties with New Delhi.

• Muttaqi is scheduled to hold talks with External Affairs Minister S. Jaishankar.
• The Chabahar port and additional Indian development assistance for Kabul are expected to be key discussion points.
• India views the visit as a cautious step toward stabilizing engagement, prioritizing practical cooperation without formally recognizing the Taliban government.
