Expansion
The Taliban government’s statement of calling India its most important regional ally and paying attention to its security concerns is very important diplomatically. Especially in view of the increasing closeness between China and Pakistan. The changed attitude of Afghanistan is being seen as a success for India. Anyway, amidst the changes in the geopolitical scenario, Afghanistan’s support has become important for India.

Increased importance in geopolitical change
Afghanistan has become very important due to its geographical location in the changed geopolitical scenario due to various reasons including sour relations with Pakistan, weakening of Iran, Russia-Ukraine war and return of Donald Trump to America. In such a situation, it becomes necessary for India to look towards such a country which is very important from security point of view. Let us tell you that India has invested a lot on development projects in Afghanistan.
Russia is growing closer
Russia, which has been fighting a war with Ukraine for the last three years, is increasing its closeness with Afghanistan by calling it an important ally in the war against terrorism. In December 2024, the Russian Parliament has voted in favor of a law to remove the Taliban from Russia’s list of banned organizations.
China kept an eye on natural resources
Along with restoring diplomatic ties with the Taliban, China is also eyeing Afghan natural resources through the BRI. New Delhi believes that if America, Europe and India leave Afghanistan, China will increase its influence there.
Nefarious activities of Pakistan
At one time, Pakistan’s intelligence agency ISI had a big role in promoting Taliban. The use of Afghanistan against India and Indian interests has been a major concern. Now after the sourness in relations with Pakistan’s Taliban, he is again doing misdeeds.
