Indian Foreign Minister Subrahmanyam Jaishankar made this significant announcement on Friday.
India had closed its Kabul embassy after the Taliban seized power following the 2021 withdrawal of US-led NATO forces.
Approximately a dozen countries including China, Russia, Iran, Pakistan and Turkey currently operate embassies in Kabul.
New Delhi’s announcement coincided with Afghan Taliban Foreign Minister Amir Khan Muttaqi beginning talks with Jaishankar.
“India is fully committed to the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of Afghanistan,“ Jaishankar told Muttaqi in his opening remarks.
Jaishankar confirmed India’s “technical mission” in Kabul was being upgraded to an embassy.
Muttaqi is on a six-day visit to India aiming to boost ties with New Delhi.
The Taliban seeks economic relations and eventual diplomatic recognition through such engagements.
New Delhi does not currently recognise the Taliban government.
Talks between the two countries are expected to include discussions on political, economic and trade issues.
Muttaqi’s trip was made possible after the UN Security Council Committee temporarily lifted a travel ban on him.
He is among Afghan Taliban members who are under UN sanctions including travel bans and asset freezes.
Temporary exemptions are sometimes granted for diplomatic purposes. – Reuters
