Afghanistan’s Taliban government said on Thursday Russia had become the first nation to recognize its rule.
The announcement came after Aghanistan’s Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi met the Russian ambassador to Afghanistan, Dmitry Zhirnov, in Kabul on Thursday.
“This brave decision will be an example for others… Now that the process of recognition has started, Russia was ahead of everyone,” Muttaqi said in a video posted on X.
