Afghanistan’s embassies in Western countries are being closed one after the other | News India

New Delhi: After the closure of Afghanistan's embassy in the US, its consulates and embassy in England have also been closed, now its embassy and embassy in Norway have also been locked. The embassies and consulates of those countries are closed in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan's Taliban government has said it does not accept diplomats or missions from the former Western-backed government.

The bottom line is that no Western country has actually recognised the Taliban government in Afghanistan. India has also not recognised it.

The Taliban government of Afghanistan has named its country 'Islamic Republic of Afghanistan'.

On Thursday, the Norwegian embassy premises will be formally closed and the keys handed over to the Norwegian Foreign Ministry.

After the establishment of the Taliban government in Kabul on 15 August 2021, action was taken against the embassies and consulates (embassies and consulates) established by the previous Karzai government in various countries. Their staff was also removed.

At present, the situation is such that except Pakistan, China and United Arab Emirates (UAE), no country has formally recognized the Taliban government of Afghanistan. It has a border dispute with Pakistan. The Taliban does not accept that the Durand Line between the two countries, built in 1896 by British Indian engineer Durand, now separates Pakistan and Afghanistan. Therefore, there is constant firing between the two countries.
