Afghan Foreign Minister's India Visit Postponed Due to Travel Ban
The Afghan Foreign Minister, Amir Khan Muttaqi, had a trip to India planned, but it got canceled.
This is because he has a travel ban in place due to rules from the UN.
The ban prevented him from getting a special permission slip, so the visit was put off.
If the trip had occurred, it would have been the first time a minister from Afghanistan visited India since the Taliban took control in 2021.
A planned visit by the Afghan Foreign Minister to India was canceled.
The postponement was due to a travel ban the minister faces.
The minister was unable to obtain a waiver for the trip.
The visit was set to be the first of its kind since the Taliban's rise to power in Afghanistan in August 2021.
The travel ban is under UN Security Council sanctions.
