Diplomacy in Afghanistan
From 1996 onwards till 2021, Bharat had been a supporter of Democracy in Afganistan and Anti-Taliban forces! But looks like Bharat is changing it's strategy pretty fast & trajectory is diagonally opposite to its stand of 20+ yrs. In June 22,in Tajikistan,NSA Ajit Doval Sir urged Afghanistan's Neighbours to provide War-torn Country assistance in Counter Terrorism. Was it Bharat's weakness to say so?....NO!!! Surprisingly it was Taliban who had made Initial Overtures to which Bharat had responded. Taliban had issued a statement 1st that it won't allow ANY Country to use Afghanistan Soil for any activities or aggression against Bharat!! That was 1st Overture by Taliban to which Bharat responded. On June 23, Bharat opened a Diplomatic Mission in Afghanistan! This clearly meant that Bharat is willing to lend some degree of legitimacy to the Taliban. Bharat also started "Food Diplomacy" by sending Wheat to Afghanistan via route through Pakistan. Why via Pakist...
