"The diplomats of the Afghan Republic have handed over the mission solely to the Indian government. It now rests upon the Indian government to decide the fate of the mission, whether to maintain its closure or consider alternatives, including the possibility of handing it over to Taliban diplomats", the embassy said in its statement.
The Indian team is led by the Joint Secretary JP Singh from the Pakistan Afghanistan Iran (PAI) division of the MEA. Last year, Singh had meet the Taliban leadership on the sidelines of the Moscow format of talks on Afghanistan in Delhi.
