Amir Khan Muttaqi's trip -- made possible after the UN Security Council granted him a travel waiver -- is expected to be closely watched by India's arch-rival Pakistan, as New Delhi deepens its engagement with the Taliban government.
Muttaqi, who met with India's top career diplomat Vikram Misri in January in Dubai, is set to hold talks with Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar.
“New Delhi is eager to establish its influence in Kabul... and not be left behind by its arch-rivals, China and Pakistan,“ International Crisis Group analyst Praveen Donthi told AFP.
But while the Taliban are “seeking diplomatic recognition and legitimacy”, Donthi said, others noted that was some way off.
India has long hosted tens of thousands of Afghans, many who fled the country after the Taliban returned to power.
