Taliban Seeks Economic Support and Recognition from India Ahead of Moscow Format Meeting

• This development comes ahead of the Moscow format discussion scheduled to be held in Kazan, Russia, on September 29, which holds regional significance.
• It is the first such meeting after China increased engagement with the Taliban and appointed a new Ambassador to Kabul.
