India's Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a statement said that the Russian Special Presidential Envoy for Afghanistan, Zamir Kabulov, and Indian officials discussed the current situation in Afghanistan.

According to the statement, in meetings between Zamir Kabulov and Indian officials, they also discussed developmental aid to support the welfare of the Afghan people.

The statement said: “India and Russia held bilateral consultations on Afghanistan today in New Delhi. Ambassador Zamir Kabulov, Special Presidential Envoy for Afghanistan and J.P. Singh, Joint Secretary (PAI) discussed the current situation in Afghanistan and emphasized on the need to provide development assistance for the welfare of the Afghan people.”

Meanwhile, the Chinese special envoy for Afghanistan, Yue Xiaoyong, also reported a meeting with Uzbekistan's special representative for Afghanistan, adding that both parties agreed to cooperate for the peace and reconstruction of Afghanistan.

Meanwhile, the Islamic Emirate called these meetings indicative of good regional coordination, adding that countries should cooperate with the Islamic Emirate considering the current progress and security in Afghanistan.

Zabihullah Mujahid, spokesperson for the Islamic Emirate, told TOLOnews: "Afghanistan seeks good relations with all countries in every sector, and in the diplomatic sector as well, it seeks comprehensive trust and confidence. The positive view about Afghanistan in the region is beneficial both for the region and the people of Afghanistan."

"Few countries like India are friends with both Russia and the United States, and have their voice heard in the United Nations. These meetings here are to discuss the upcoming Doha meeting on Afghanistan," Tariq Farhadi, a political analyst, told TOLOnews.

"If these representatives first share and discuss a common view with each other in their meetings, and then share those views with the Islamic Emirate, it would be more effective," said Edris Mohammadi Zazai, another political analyst.

Earlier, Roza Otunbayeva, the head of UNAMA, met with Iranian officials about significant issues including the upcoming Doha meeting.
