NEW DELHI: India participated in the first-ever international meeting hosted by Afghanistan's Taliban regime which was the first since reclaiming power in Kabul in 2021.
They said that the meeting was aimed at promoting economic connectivity and cooperation with regional countries on common challenges. 

Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi hosted representatives from India, China, Russia, Pakistan and Iran etc.
He proposed regional peace talks to increase and continue positive interaction with Afghanistan. He also called for "constructive engagement" with the international community. 

He, however, rejected the need for the appointment of a United Nations special envoy to Afghanistan despite the fact that the UN Security Council in December passed a resolution calling for the appointment of a special envoy for the South Asian nation. 

In 2021, the Taliban reclaimed power, but it didn't get recognition from the international community. 
The world avoided recognising the Afghan government majorly due to its restrictions on women's basic rights and other human rights violations.
