India sends ‘technical team back to its embassy’ in Kabul
The Minister of External Affairs of India, S Jaishankar, said on Thursday that India has sent a technical team back to its embassy in Afghanistan and that their job is essentially to monitor the situation to see how New Delhi can support the Afghan people, Indian media reported.
“We pulled back the India-based diplomats and staff after the Taliban (IEA) took control of Kabul because we had legitimate security concerns — a lot of other countries also did it.
“With the passage of time, we have sent back a technical team to the embassy. They have been there for some time, their job is essentially in a sense to monitor the situation and see how we can support the Afghan people in their hour of need,” he told a press conference marking nine years of the Modi government, as quoted by The Times of India.
