Meanwhile, political analysts believe that the resumption of Afghan embassy’s activities will improve the relations between Kabul and Delhi.
“For us, it is a positive [step], I see it as a positive move. The reopening of the embassies is also a lobby for the Islamic Emirate. It both benefits the nation and the government,” said Sultan Mohammad Sultani, political analyst.
“It would be better for the Islamic Emirate to have good diplomatic relations with all of the countries. The countries which are concerned about Afghanistan should meet their wishes through diplomatic paths,” said Amanullah Hotaki, a political analyst.
Earlier, the acting Consul General of Afghanistan in Mumbai, Sayed Mohammad Ibrahimkhil, said in a video that he and the Consul General of Afghanistan in Hyderabad, Zakia Wardak, have taken the responsibility for the consulate services of Afghanistan’s embassy in New Delhi based on requests of the Indian government.
