India's Dilemma with the Taliban
India's decision to strengthen ties with Afghanistan and host the Taliban's acting foreign minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, can be seen as a strategic move.
This decision aims to counter Pakistan's influence and protect regional interests, as India's investments and humanitarian efforts in Kabul were compromised after the US withdrawal in 2021.
By rebuilding relations with Afghanistan, India seeks to reclaim its strategic space, which was ceded to Pakistan and China, the latter of which is expanding its presence through the Belt and Road Initiative and mineral investments.
India wants a seat at Kabul's geopolitical table to safeguard our regional interests.
Author's summary: India hosts Taliban for strategic interests.
