Russia officially recognized the Taliban government in Afghanistan to formalize expanding cooperation between the two countries and move toward full-scale political engagement, Russia’s presidential envoy to the Central Asian country, Zamir Kabulov, told RT on Friday.
Moscow became the first major power to establish formal diplomatic ties with the Islamist government this week following the presentation of credentials by a new Afghan ambassador in the Russian capital.
Kabulov said maintaining a close partnership had become important after it became clear that the current government in Kabul was “doing its best to cope” with terrorism and drug trafficking.
