Delegation of Indian Islamic scholars meets Afghan ambassador in Iran
Three days after India announced that it had sent a technical team back to its embassy in Kabul, a delegation of Indian Islamic scholars travelled to Iran and met with the acting ambassador of Afghanistan in Tehran.
The delegation led by Salman Husaini Nadwi, a prominent Indian scholar, spoke with Ambassador Fazl Mohammad Haqqani about the issues related to Afghanistan and the role of scholars in ensuring ties between the two countries.
Experts believe Indian Islamic scholars’ visit to Kabul can be useful for the resumption of diplomatic relations between Kabul and New Delhi.
“India has always had good relations with Afghanistan throughout history. It has provided aid to Afghanistan, but there is one issue that they could not maintain the balance during the rule of Ashraf Ghani and Hamid Karzai. Their relations with India became so close that they found some political agendas and even political documents in their consulates in Nangarhar and Paktia, which show that India was carrying out political activities in Afghanistan,” said Jannat Fahim Chakari, a political expert.
Indian foreign minister has said that the technical team would monitor the situation to see how New Delhi can support the Afghan people.
“Indians have no achievements in Afghanistan. They played very poorly. Indians and the Indian government cannot play any role in the future of Afghanistan. India has approximately 240 million Muslims population. Their attitude towards the Muslims in India is very discriminatory and harsh,” Rahmatullah Hassan, a political expert, said.
India has not recognized the new government of Afghanistan so far.
Regarding the recent controversy in the Afghan embassy in New Delhi, India has said that it is internal affairs of the embassy and it does not involve India.
Doctors Without Borders (MSF) has announced that it will continue providing its essential health services to the people of Afghanistan.
In a post on X, the organization, referring to Afghanistan’s health needs, said that over the past year it has been active in various health sectors across the country, ranging from maternal and child care to emergency response, as well as the treatment of patients suffering from tuberculosis and severe injuries.
According to MSF, its teams over the past year have been present at a range of health facilities, including neonatal intensive care units, operating theatres, surgical centers, and specialized tuberculosis treatment wards, where they have delivered life-saving services to patients.
The organization stressed that it will continue ensuring the provision of health services, particularly for needy families and vulnerable communities in remote areas of Afghanistan.
The Embassy of Afghanistan in Japan, currently run by diplomats of the previous government, has announced that it will suspend its operations in Tokyo after the end of January 2026.

The embassy added that after January 31, all of its political, economic, cultural, and consular activities will be halted until further notice.
