  • Russia moved a step closer towards recognising the Taliban government of Afghanistan on Tuesday as parliament voted in favour of a law that would make it possible to remove the Taliban from Moscow's list of banned terrorist organisations.

Russia has taken a significant step towards recognizing the Taliban government in Afghanistan by inviting a Taliban representative to an economic forum in Kazan, Russia. This move comes as part of broader diplomatic engagements, with the Taliban's acting minister of commerce and industry, Haji Nooruddin Azizi, attending the event. This invitation signals a potential shift in international relations, as Russia, along with China, has been engaging with the Taliban, despite the group not being officially recognized by the United Nations or many countries due to concerns over human rights abuses and governance issues. The engagement also reflects Russia's strategic interests in Afghanistan, particularly in countering the influence of other powers like the United States and in addressing regional security concerns, including the threat of terrorism.
