Afghanistan Embassy in Delhi celebrates fifth year of Taliban regime
The Taliban marked five years in power on Saturday (August 15, 2026), seeking to portray their government as in control even as aid and rights groups warned of escalating crises.
The Afghanistan Embassy in Delhi marked the fifth anniversary of the Taliban regime with a celebration on August 17, 2026. The event, held in the presence of diplomats from several nations, signified Afghanistan's shift from a war-torn nation to one focusing on stability, reconstruction, and economic growth under the Islamic system.
Mufti Noor Ahmad Noor, Chargé d’Affaires at the Afghan Embassy, elaborated on the Taliban's initiatives since their victory, emphasizing cooperation, connectivity, and transit facilities. The diplomatic representative of the Taliban administration, Mufti Noor Ahmad Noor, highlighted the country's efforts towards stability, reconstruction, economic growth, and strengthening relations with the world based on mutual respect.
The event, initially marked by an Islamic prayer, saw attendance from diplomats representing Russia, the United States, China, Qatar, Libya, Bhutan, Mongolia, Oman, and the United Arab Emirates. India, which currently has weekly flights connecting the two countries amid ongoing tensions, expressed a desire to engage with the Taliban for economic and security benefits.
