The Taliban regime has appointed Ikramuddin Kamil as the acting consul in the Afghan mission in Mumbai.
The name of Kamil was announced by Taliban foreign ministry. Kamil studied in India for seven years.
The appointment is first of its kind in India after it captured power in Afghanistan more than three years ago.
The announcement comes days after the external affairs ministry’s point-person for Afghanistan held talks with the Taliban’s acting defence minister, Mullah Mohammad Yaqoob, in Kabul.
