Following the decision of the Russian Supreme Court to suspend the designation of the name of the “Taliban” from the list of banned organizations, Russia’s special representative for Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov, announced that this move removes legal obstacles to developing formal relations with the Taliban.
Zamir Kabulov, Russia’s special envoy for Afghanistan, said: “This decision is an important step for all state institutions of the Russian Federation. Now a major legal barrier to expanding political, economic, and other official cooperation with the Afghan government has been removed. We are not stopping here—further steps are on the way.”
He also announced plans for a major economic meeting between Russia and Afghanistan in mid-May, on the sidelines of the Kazan International Forum.
According to Kabulov, the Russian deputy prime minister will lead the Russian delegation at the event, and on the other side, a high-level delegation from the caretaker government will also be present.
Kabulov said: “In mid-May, a major meeting will be held between the trade delegations of Afghanistan and Russia in Kazan, which is expected to further strengthen economic relations between the two countries.”
